Creative uses of wood, stone and other quality materials are prominent throughout the two-story home at 8443 Primrose Way.
This Craftsman-styled home was built in 2006. The former Homerama showplace was the model home for the Cypress Ridge subdivision in Clearcreek Twp. near Springboro.
“This is truly a one-of-a-kind, lodge-style home,” said Karen Powell of Coldwell Banker Heritage Realtors. “From the 12-foot entry door to the walk-out, finished, lower level, the quality speaks for itself.”
Hickory flooring, square columns with natural wood grain, faux- finished walls, slate tile, granite and onyx are some of the quality features used in the décor.
Pines, evergreens, boxwoods and rose bushes are included in the landscaping of the surrounding lot, which measures more than 1 acre.
Offering about 6,500 square feet of living space, this home is listed for $799,500.
A stamped concrete walkway leads to the unusual front patio/porch with stone-based columns.
Solid-oak double doors with multiple decorative glass inserts and transoms opens into the entry hall, where embellishmeants include faux- finished walls with a subtle leaf motif, hickory flooring and sound system controls for outdoor speakers and those throughout the house.
Inset carpet covers the floor in the great room, which sits under a cathedral ceiling. Slate tile surrounds the raised fireplace, which is flanked by recessed built-ins with bookshelves and cabinets. A wall of windows arranged Palladian-style overlooks the rounded, stamped-concrete patios and the backyard edged by a tree line.
Near the entrance to the formal dining room, the butler pantry offers cherry wood cabinets and wine racks.
Granite, marble, rich wood tones and stainless-steel characterize the kitchen, where attention is drawn first to the center island with an extended breakfast bar.
Other eye catchers are the built-in cherry wood hutch, the double-wide SubZero refrigerator and the six-burner gas range under marble tile backsplashes.
Earth-toned tile with diagonal borders extends to the floor of the breakfast area, which is set before a bay window overlooking the main patio.
Stone facing enhances the raised fireplace in the family/hearth room, which is centered with a lodge-style chandelier.
“The main bedroom suite is filled with eye-catching surprises,” Powell said.
In the bedroom the deep tray ceiling is coved, backlighted and centered with a designer paddle fan. A bay area with tall windows incorporates a glass-paned door to a private patio.
In the luxury bath, the double vanity’s onyx counter is under-lighted and graced with raised round bowls. The jetted tub sits under an arched window of leaded glass. Ceramic tile surrounds the oversized shower, and the flooring is installed along diagonal lines. Another surprise is the wall-mounted heated towel rack.
A second bedroom suite offers a private bath and access to the front patio, so it is appropriate for use as an office.
Special features include the copper faux-finished walls and a dry bar recessed into an alcove with a granite counter.
Stunning walls in the guest bath are faux-finished with stucco over copper and complemented with a copper vanity and a massive oval mirror.
In the opposite wing, Jack-and-Jill bedrooms connect to a central bath with a double vanity and a separate room for the tub and shower. Both bedrooms have walk-in closets.
A hideaway/guest bedroom and full bath are situated on the upper level.
A mudroom with built-in seating offers access to the garage, which has finished walls.
Powell remarked, “The quality continues to the lower level with 10-foot ceilings, customized home theater, gaming room, wine closet and a gym with special mat flooring, as well as a wet bar complete with bar, sink, granite and microwave.”
Powell emphasized the inherent value in this unique home.
“Replacement value to rebuild this home is in excess of a million dollars,” she said.
