Recreation room in full, semi-finished basement
Contributing Writer
The home’s main floor, basement and sun room and the attached four-car garage allow for a variety of floor plan and living space options to this frame-home located just off the historical downtown area of Fairborn.
Listed for $116,900 by RE/MAX HomeBase, the Cape Cod at 7 N. First St. has about 1,100 square feet of living space. The property includes two separate garages that could accommodate six vehicles and has a heated workshop. The attached garage is designed for storage space, workshop and outdoor entertainment space.
The four-car garage has two overhead doors, a sliding barn door that opens into the back yard, and side service door that leads to the entrance of the other two-car, detached garage. The back of the garage has a workshop with cabinetry and vinyl windows.
A wooden deck accents the front of the house, and there is a retractable awning. A leaded-glass front door opens directly into the family room, which has hardwood flooring underneath the carpeting. There is a picture window and a fireplace flanked by windows. An arched walkway leads to the back hallway and into the eat-in kitchen, which is off to the left.
The kitchen has updated cabinetry with solid-surface countertops that zig-zag around the wall space, creating a buffet counter within the breakfast room. There is a pantry closet, a double-sink below a window, and the kitchen is equipped with a range and a refrigerator.
Off the kitchen is a door that leads to the full, semi-finished basement. Half the basement has been finished into a recreation room. Knotty pine accents the walls and lighting is recessed into the ceiling treatment. There is a brick fireplace with blower and on the opposite wall is a bar or kitchenette area. A peninsula counter offers seating for six and under-counter storage and along the back wall is a sink and space for appliances.
The other half of the basement is semi-finished with the utility area, laundry hook-ups and a full bathroom that includes a tub/shower and a single-sink vanity.
Back on the main level, the hallway off the living room leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bath has a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.
One bedroom has access to the sun room, which stretches across the back of the house. The sun room has several windows, a vaulted wood-trimmed ceiling, ceiling paddle fans and a storage closet. A door off the sun room leads to the attached garage.
A third possible bedroom is located upstairs. A door from the hallway opens to a hidden staircase that leads to the finished upstairs. A spindle accents the stairwell and there is a closet space. Windows are on each end of the room and the ceiling is angled. Extra storage space is through hidden panels.
Other features include an updated air conditioning and gas forced-air furnace.
