Additions create versatility in Kettering brick ranch

Sitting diagonally on a corner lot, this brick ranch has received additions that create spacious social areas for a versatile floor plan.

Listed for $275,000 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the home at 4500 Rean Meadow Drive in Kettering has about 3,690 square feet of living space. The property has a semi-private back yard with two wood decks and an extra parking pad for the two-car garage.

Formal areas at the front of the home include a dining room and sunken living room. Wood flooring fills the foyer and continues into the updated kitchen and hearth room. Updated about five years ago, the U-shaped kitchen has light cherry cabinets, including a planning desk and stainless-steel appliances. There is a pantry closet and a door that leads to a laundry room, which is accessible from the bedroom wing.

Tucked in one corner of the breakfast room is a gas fireplace with stone hearth.

Off the kitchen is the great room with tongue-and-groove wood ceiling treatment and accent beams. A dual-sided gas fireplace divides the great room from the recreation room, which has a slight cathedral ceiling, tall windows with storage bench seats below.
