Single Family Residence, Ranch - Scio, OH

Time stands still and stress melts away as you drive through the pines to your castle in the clouds! Perched above the lovely Tappan Lake in a private community of 8 homes is a solid brick ranch home with qualities rarely seen. 5+ acres of ever-changing beauty and wildlife are on view from the many floor-to-ceiling Anderson windows throughout the home. Nature will draw you to the wide front veranda where eagles soar and wooded hills are mirrored in the lake. Sweeping views of the foothills of the Appalachians are your view from the pavilion just steps away from the cozy covered back porch. Inside you will find custom Schrock oak woodwork and cabinetry as well as solid oak six panel doors. High ceilings and many windows bring spaciousness and light to the rooms that flow into one another. This home boasts 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths. The primary bedroom with an en-suite is truly a retreat in itself with a gas burning fireplace and large walk-in closet. The bathrooms have recently been remodeled with tiled showers and Delta faucets and fixtures. The kitchen has generous cabinetry and storage with a gas cooktop and stainless steel built-in appliances. The breakfast nook and dining area sweep into a gathering place inviting to dream by the second fireplace. The heart of the home is the living room where the high ceilings are accented by a stone wall and hearth where a Vermont Castings woodburning stove lights up the room with flickering flames. Wide oak stairs leads to the lower level with a full bath. A newer furnace and water heater are located in the mechanical room with a water softener and filtration system. The lower garage and safe room provide generous storage and a 12'x18' Amish Weaver barn provide additional space for tools, toys and treasures. The 2 1/2 car garage opens to an extra wide concrete driveway with 5 parking curbs for guests and easy turn-around. This magnificent home has the "WOW" factor with amenities and updates.
