Property Description

Highly motivated sellers! WELCOME HOME to the best of all worlds! Looking for something with country charm, feel, and space, but not far from shopping, restaurants, and highway acess? Check! Looking for something with some land and privacy, but not isolated? Check! Nearly 2 acres with lots of *permanent* adjacent open green space in front and on both sides - feels like 5 acres! Looking for community amenities like Olympic-sized pool, walking trails, clubhouse, gym, dog park, and playgrounds, but not crowded in cookie-cutter homes? Check! LOW HOA fee of only $286 per QUARTER for all these amenities. This property is the homestead of the original Keller farm, most of which is now the gorgeous Kellerton subdivision, yet this home, and this one alone, has acreage, open space, & original details. A beautiful, solid, exceedingly well-built home with significant modern updates at nearly 5000 finished SF on the main two levels. The grounds also offer the best of all worlds: This home includes a 3-car garage, ample extra parking (can easily fit 8-10 more), an *amazing* HUGE covered summer pavilion with built-in masonry grill, fans, and lighting for family reunions or barbecues, or just a good book and a breeze on a summer afternoon. Change out the screens for windows and this could be a 4-season multi-purpose retreat. Front porch with a wide, gently sloping front yard that goes down to the original stone springhouse. Stone stairs and retaining wall add character and great looks, a very majestic presence from Yellow springs Rd. Inside the home, you will find very large rooms everywhere, including a 29’ x 26’ 2-story beamed Family Room with highest quality wood floors, a huge wood-burning stone fireplace, built-in bar area with mini fridge, a gorgeous 3-sided window seat nook with mountain views, and two ceiling fans. This room can comfortably hold lots of furniture, the biggest screen TV possible, a pool or game table, and with room to spare. The kitchen includes a 3-sided windowed breakfast nook, granite counter tops, a spacious island, subzero fridge, lighted coffee station, and more. A unique multi-purpose room is off the kitchen and open to it, with a sink and counter space, for crafts, food prep, etc - and it has beautiful views. WAIT til you see the MBR! *HUGE!* Room-size closet, separate dressing area, and built-ins. New washer and dryer, plus a laundry chute, in the main level laundry room. A huge 23 x 20 addition was added in 2003 with soaring cathedral ceiling, 2 skylights, an entire wall of lighted built-ins, and floor to ceiling windows. There is a separate exterior entrance and separate HVAC system as well. This space is ideal for those working from home, with or without visiting clients. It could also be easily used as a stunning main level primary bedroom, or in-law/au pair suite. The adjacent parlor could likewise be an additional bedroom. The front foyer, living room, dining room, and original turned staircase harken back to 1900 when the original part of the house was built. Original wood floors and period-style interior window shutters in the LR and DR are cool details. The main front staircase, as well as the rear staircase from the family room, lead to 3 VERY spacious bedrooms. An 8’ by 14’ gallery overlooks the family room just outside the enormous primary bedroom. There is brand new luxe carpet & pad in all of the bedrooms. The basement is unfinished, with walk-up to the rear yard through Bilco doors. New large capacity water heater. Plenty of room for a workshop, and loads of dry storage space. Roof is about 9 years old. All air handlers & heat pumps have been replaced, with the oldest one being only about 9 years old. Most systems are new or newer. Large rear patio and retractible awning. On the other side of Yellow Springs Rd there will be a park. Home warranty included. QUESTIONS? Please call! Sellers are motivated.
