Two-story features first-floor main bedroom suite
Contributing Writer
Tucked among the trees with a park-like patio setting, this brick two-story has a first-floor main bedroom, an updated main bathroom and outdoor space for relaxation.
Listed for $299,900 by Better Homes and Gardens Big Hill Real Estate, the house at 2890 Hickorywood Drive has about 3,190 square feet of living space. Located in the Broken Woods subdivision of Concord Twp., the property has mature trees along the back yard, several circular paver-brick patios with the main one having a stone wall surround, stone walking paths among the gardens, brick pillars with wrought-iron gate entrances and a separate garden shed with sloped roof and ramped double-door entry.
A paved driveway leads up to the side-entry, two-car garage and has an extra parking pad.
Volume ceilings and tall arched windows give the home’s interior a spacious feel. A grand, curved wooden staircase ascends up to a spindled-accented catwalk that crosses over the foyer and is open to the two-story great room. Double wooden doors, marble-tile flooring and a crystal chandelier create elegance to the foyer.
Tucked off the foyer is the entrance to a study with a wall of built-in bookcases and cabinetry. Tall windows provide natural light, and another door provides entrance to the main bathroom and bedroom suite.
Hand-painted faux details give the bathroom an old-world charm, which contrasts against the modern fixtures. A granite countertop is on a hickory vanity, and two stainless-steel bowl sinks have wall-anchored faucets above each bowl. A skylight adds extra light above the sinks and into the walk-in shower.
The ceramic-tile shower has glass doors and accents, a seat, a jetted body wash and two shower heads. There are two sliding-mirror closets and a private toilet room. Double doors open from the bathroom into the main bedroom, which has access to the great room.
At the center of the house is the two-story great room, accented by a custom-designed gas fireplace. Wall-to-ceiling design features create furniture nooks on each side of the fireplace, which has a marble surround and hearth. A tall window with arched window above provides natural light to the great room and the above catwalk.
Off the great room is a dining room with two windows and access to the updated kitchen.
Accessible from a short hallway from the foyer and the dining room the kitchen has wood laminate flooring, beveled-edged countertops, an appliance garage, a double-sink below a window and stainless-steel appliances. One wall has a buffet counter within the breakfast room, a pantry cabinet, refrigerator nook and a planning desk with open bookcases.
The breakfast room has a bay bump-out design with a door that opens to a side courtyard-like patio.
The hallway also leads to a half bathroom, a laundry room with storage close and utility closet and access to the oversized, two-car garage.
Upstairs, the catwalk crosses over the foyer and ends in a short hallway where two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located. Both bedrooms have angled ceilings treatments and sliding-door closets. The bath divides the two rooms and has a single-sink vanity, tub/shower and ceramic-tile flooring.
