Escape from the world in this beautiful, secluded home on a 1 acre wooded lot. Ideally located, you will be just minutes from OSU and Batelle and about 20 min from downtown Columbus, with very quick access to 270 and 33. Educate your children in Hilliard schools while only paying Columbus taxes.
This spacious, 2300 sf home is light, open and airy, with an architectural style heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian period (sometimes called California ranch), with a more "shed" styled second-story master suite. The Usonian period was Wright's prescription for "anti-urbania," and his philosophy was to provide "shelters for the spirit." In Wright's words, " I began to see a building primarily not as a cave but as a broad shelter in the open, related to vista, vista without, and vista within." In true Usonian spirit, this home features several enormous picture windows framed low to the ground, unusually ample eves, and a heavy visual emphasis on support and beam structure.
Your escape from the world begins when you pass through the beautiful gate of the ornamental iron fence that surrounds the front of the property. There, you will leave behind the hustle and bustle of urban life and smile as you enter the serenity of a private and wooded lot, with the evergreens obscuring the view to the outside. You will find that nobody bothers you at this property. Nobody will show up at your doorstep unless they are invited, irregardless of whether you leave the gate open.
The interior of this beautiful home features extensive ceramic floors and counters and ample cabinetry. The open, great-room plan provides living, den, kitchen, breakfast, and formal dining areas. The arrangement of the four bedrooms and three full baths emphasizes privacy, with the spacious master suite occupying the entire upstairs, the children's rooms immediately below, sharing one bath, and the mother-in-law bedroom on the far side of the home, with its own bathroom. Relax by yourself or entertain guests on a beautiful deck and patio of over 2300 sf (not a misprint!), featuring a hot tub, bar, and picnic table. Parking is abundant, with a 2-car attached garage, extra-deep 2-car detached garage (originally used for boat storage), storage parking to the side of the detached garage, and an ample concrete drive with generous turn-around areas.
