Surrounded by woods, pastures and a nearby creek, this brick ranch has volume ceilings, three bedrooms and a full, unfinished, walk-out lower level. The house is tucked back about a quarter-mile off the road on 20.75 acres.

Listed for $489,900 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the home at 8683-A Verona Road has about 2,760 square feet of living space. The house sits among mature trees and has a three-car garage and a composite balcony deck.

The 20.75-acre property includes a pole barn and storage shed. The pole barn has walk-up loft storage, a workshop, kitchenette, bathroom, electrical service, furnace and air conditioning and a concrete floor.

A shared gravel driveway leads through crop field and ends among the trees where a walkway leads from the driveway to the formal entrance.

Inside, the main social areas are open with flooring separating the spaces. The foyer has wood-laminate flooring that fills the adjoining formal dining room and continues into the circular kitchen. The dining room has a triple tray ceiling and crown molding.

Double cathedral ceilings enlarge the great room, which has three windows that look out over the rear deck. Wood pillars on top of wood-capped partial walls accent the walkway from the great room into a breakfast room, which has patio doors that open to the rear deck and a wood-burning stove.

The breakfast room adjoins the family room, which has a cathedral ceiling.

Accessible from the dining room and the breakfast room, the kitchen has four walls of cherry cabinetry with light solid-surface countertops. There is a pantry cabinetry and a double-door pantry closet. Appliances include a range, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator. There is a triple sink and a small island.

A short hallway off the kitchen leads to a combination laundry room and half bath room, access to the lower level and access to the garage.

A hallway off the great room leads to three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and patio doors that open to the rear deck. The private bathroom features an elevated whirlpool tub, a double-sink vanity with make-up desk extension, a walk-in shower with glass doors and a second walk-in closet.

The front bedroom has a cathedral ceiling, and the middle bedroom has a furniture nook. The guest bath has a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.

The full basement has been studded for possible finishing. There are two daylight windows and three single-door entrances that open to underneath the deck and patio area. A second laundry room is tucked back under the staircase.

The house was constructed using Nudura concrete forms. There is baseboard heat as well as a propane furnace and central air conditioning.
