Split floor plan ranch has open areas

127 DEETER DRIVE, ENGLEWOOD

Partially finished lower level could add to living space

Contributing writer

A split floor plan design rests over a full basement that could add to the living space of this stone-and-cedar ranch in the Millwood subdivision of Englewood.

Listed for $325,000 by Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Big Hill, the ranch at 127 Deeter Drive has about 2,635 square feet of living space, including the finished space of the lower level.

The property has a picket fence surrounding the back yard, which has no rear neighbors. There is also a three-car garage with extra storage nook, a raised paver-brick patio off the covered rear porch, a storage shed and mature trees.

Formal entry opens into the foyer with oversized ceramic-tile flooring that continues into the kitchen and breakfast room. A secluded dining room to the right of the foyer has a tray ceiling with crown molding.

Straight off the foyer is the great room with a cathedral ceiling and a corner, gas fireplace with raised hearth and wood mantel. An open staircase has a landing with built-in display shelves below a large window and ends at the hallway of the lower level. Half the basement has been finished to include a bedroom with double-door closet and egress window and a full bathroom with walk-in shower and single-sink vanity. Double doors open off the hallway into the unfinished half, which has a large egress window.

The unfinished space could be a recreation room and theater room. There is another unfinished room where the home’s mechanical systems are located as well as ample storage.

Back upstairs, past the stairwell is a small hallway, which leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. Both bedrooms mirror each other in size, have a double-door closet and access to the bathroom, which has a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.

Open to the great room and separated by flooring treatment is the breakfast room, which has patio doors that open to the rear covered porch. An angled two-level peninsula counter divides the breakfast room from the kitchen and provides seating for four while the lower level has a double sink and dishwasher. Maple cabinetry fills the kitchen and includes a pantry with rollout shelves and soft-close drawers.

Off the breakfast room is a hallway that leads to the main bedroom, bathroom, half bath and laundry room.

A tray ceiling is above the bedroom and has crown molding. The private bath features a soaking tub, a double-sink vanity, walk-in shower with glass doors and a walk-in closet.

The laundry room has a folding counter with sink and ceramic-tile flooring. Access to the garage is off the hallway.
