Modified additions to rear of home
Contributing Writer
With the way the house sits on the property, this Cape Cod’s exterior offers little insight to the amount of living space inside.
Listed for $79,900 by J.L. Zimmerman Realty, the frame house at 30 Frahn Ave. in Fairborn has about 1,580 square feet of living space with a spacious living room and upstairs main bedroom. The formal entry is off a covered porch on the side of the house, and the modified additions are to the rear, hidden by a privacy fence that surrounds the back yard, rear deck and extra parking pad.
A parking pad is off the main street at the front of the property and a driveway leads through the fence gate and ends at a garden shed with attached lean-to for additional parking or possible patio. A composite deck is off the back of the house and is accessible from the house through a door from the mud room.
The front door opens directly into the living room with wood-laminate flooring that continues into the eat-in kitchen and the staircase hallway. A picture window fills the living room with natural light.
The kitchen is divided by a peninsula counter that offers seating for two and storage. Cabinets fill three walls and surround appliance nooks. Off the breakfast room is a mud room and laundry room. A door opens to the rear deck and a second door opens into a full bathroom, which features a corner shower, single-sink vanity and frosted window.
Off the living room is a hallway that leads to the staircase to the second floor and the entry to a second full bathroom. This bath has a tub/shower, single-sink vanity and vinyl flooring.
Upstairs, the staircase ends at a loft hallway with storage closet and access to three bedrooms. The hallway and two bedrooms have refinished hardwood floors. The front bedroom has large closets.
The 14-by-17-foot main bedroom is at the back of the house and has carpeting and a ceiling paddle fan. A step down is the entrance to the walk-in closet.
The partial basement is accessible from a stairwell from the front porch. The basement offers storage and houses the mechanical systems, which include a gas, forced-air furnace and central air conditioning. There is a wall air-conditioning unit on the second floor.
