With two bonus rooms, this brick ranch located within Bethel Twp. of Miami County has living space options.

Listed for $239,900 by Wright-Patt Realty Inc., the ranch at 9578 Bellefontaine Road has about 1,420 square feet of living space. The house sits well off the road with a paved driveway and extra parking pad.

The 1.26-acre property includes two out-buildings. One has two separate overhead doors, and the other has an attached carport for recreation vehicles.

Formal entry into the home opens from a covered front porch into the living room with its wood-trimmed bay window. Double doors open off the living room to the breakfast room and kitchen. A peninsula counter divides the U-shaped kitchen from the breakfast room and offers storage and buffet service space. Two sets of bi-fold doors open to the utility closet and a pantry closet.

The kitchen has painted cabinetry with a ceramic-tile backsplash. A sink is below a window, and the stainless-steel appliances include a range, refrigerator and dishwasher. There is also a pantry cabinet.

A door opens off the kitchen into the three-car, divided garage. The single-car bay has been converted into a workshop with cabinetry, ceiling paddle fans and a storage room. The garage also has a heat source. Off the back is an entrance into an enclosed recreation room with walls of windows, concrete floor, additional electric service and a glass door that opens out to the back yard.

The front of the garage is a two-car bay with overhead door and electric opener.

A hallway from the breakfast room leads to two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The two bedrooms are at the front of the house and have double-door closets. One bath features a tub/shower while the other has a walk-in shower and a double-sink vanity.

The hallway ends with a step down into a study or family room or possible bedroom. The room has a vaulted ceiling with skylights, a brick fireplace with raised hearth, built-in seats with storage and bookcases. A door opens off this room into a three-season sun room or enclosed porch.

Another door opens off the study into a mudroom with a glass-block window, side entrance door and stairwell that leads down to the partial basement where there are laundry hook-ups, a shower stall, storage and crawlspace access. The property has electric and propane heating system, central air conditioning, well and septic system.
