Home within a 55-plus community of Northgate Estates
Contributing Writer
The second bedroom is designed to allow some flexibility to the floor plan of this brick ranch located within the Northgate subdivision of Fairborn.
Listed for $159,900 by RE/MAX Home Base, the ranch at 1357 Northgate Blvd. has about 1,560 square feet of living space. The house sits on a corner lot with a two-car garage and a tree-lined back yard. The property is located within a 55-plus community of Northgate Estates with a low association fee that includes lawn maintenance and snow removal on the private roads.
Entrance to the ranch is tucked off one side and is covered, creating a front covered patio. The front door opens into a small foyer that opens into a living room with a picture window. All the windows have wood trim work.
A hallway from the living room leads to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a private bathroom. The bath has a walk-in shower, a single-sink vanity and vinyl flooring. The hallway ends at the guest bath, which has a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.
The guest bedroom is spacious enough to become a sitting room or small family room. A short hallway has access to a sliding-door closet and opens into a laundry room. The room has the laundry hook-ups along one wall and along the opposite wall is cabinetry with hanging cabinets and a countertop.
There is a large walk-in closet and access to the two-car garage, which has additional storage space and houses the mechanical closet. Another door from the bonus room opens to the Florida room, which has carpeting and screened-windows for three-season use.
A door opens out to the concrete patio. The back yard has a wall of evergreens, which provides additional privacy.
Back at the front of the house off the living room is the eat-in kitchen. A bay window provides natural light as does a skylight above the breakfast bar. Along one wall of the breakfast room is cabinetry that includes a planning desk and buffet counter. The kitchen has a wall of cabinetry and laminate countertops that surround appliances and the double sink. Access to the garage is off the kitchen.
Other features include gas forced-air furnace, central air conditioning and city services.
