Main home includes semi-finished basement
Contributing Writer
Sitting well off the roadway and having plenty of concrete parking, two buildings plus a large barn sit on 1.5 acres within Bethel Twp. One building is a three-bedroom ranch on a full basement while the other was once a display window business. The property is zoned for multiple-use.
Listed for $299,900 by RE/MAX Alliance Realty, the residential building at 8275 S. State Route 202 has about 1,080 square feet of living space. The house has an attached, one-car garage, a covered side porch with porch swing and a concrete front patio.
Entry to the house is made from either porch, directly into the living room, which has a bow window and a wood-burning fireplace with stone mantel and hearth. Hardwood flooring fills the living room and continues into the hallway and bedrooms. All three bedrooms have large closets and overhead lights. The full bath has been updated with a tub/shower, tall bureau vanity with solid-surface sink and counter, a triple-mirror medicine cabinet and vinyl flooring.
Off the living room is the kitchen with a wall of oak cabinetry. A window is above the sink and the kitchen comes equipped with a range and dishwasher. An open staircase leads from the kitchen to the basement, which has been semi-finished into a recreation room on one side and two separate rooms on the other side. One room has the electric furnace while the other room has the laundry hook-ups and hot water tank.
Back upstairs, two steps down from the kitchen is an enclosed breeze way, which could be used as a breakfast room. Patio doors open to a rear patio and the back yard. Another door opens into the garage, which has a concrete floor and electric opener.
Behind the house is a 30-by-40-foot barn. The barn has two loft storage areas, a dirt floor and a bonus room. Electric service can be restored to the barn and a barbwire fence surrounds the barn and some of the yard.
Keystone brick accent the garden and provide steps from the side porch of the house down to the concrete driveway and parking between the house and the second building on the property.
The second building has a covered porch and large front windows. Inside, there is about 2,750 square feet of finished space, including a large room at the front with a cathedral ceiling, skylight and a peninsula counter.
A door off one end opens to a hallway where there are two half bathrooms and a kitchenette. Another door opens into a second room, which has an abundance of electric outlets. This space has a double-car overhead door that could be converted back to garage space. A hidden staircase leads to attic storage and possible usable space. At the back of the building is a cedar-block workshop or garage that has a single-car overhead door entrance but space for two vehicles in tandem.
