If you have been waiting on a rurally located private setting with true big home potential, this one might be exactly what you have been hoping to cash in on. Offering 3/4 bedrooms and two bathrooms, the home sits on just under five wooded acres filled with beautiful hardwoods and the peaceful privacy Southeastern Ohio buyers are always searching for. Stepping into the foyer, you are greeted by a spacious, inviting atmosphere highlighted by a solid oak staircase. The craftsmanship continues throughout the home with beautiful oak trim that adds warmth and character to every room. The traditional split level layout features a generous open upstairs with a combined living, kitchen, and dining space that creates an effortless flow for everyday living and gatherings. Just off this area are a full bathroom and the laundry room. A short hallway leads to three bedrooms including the owner suite. The bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged for families who recommend the comfort and convenience of close proximity. The downstairs level offers tremendous potential. It is fully framed and dry walled for an office, a large 15x30 den anchored by a striking fireplace, and a fourth bedroom option ready to be finished. Additional storage and utility closets, a recently replaced heating and cooling unit, and the attached one car garage are all located on this level. The garage also includes a cleverly designed hideaway storage room that maximizes available space. Both the front and back covered porches provide that classic down home feel and offer ideal spots to enjoy quiet mornings, evening sunsets, or simple relaxation. As you travel up the drive toward the home, you will pass a two car detached garage equipped with water and electricity. This building is extremely versatile, offering the capacity to hook up a camper or store additional equipment, tools, or recreational vehicles. The location is a major advantage. The property sits less than a mile from State Route 554, making it easy to access daily needs without sacrificing rural privacy. It is only 15 minutes to Jackson Pike and within twenty five minutes of Gallipolis, Mason, and Pomeroy shopping areas. Commuters will appreciate the convenient travel routes with quick access to US 35 and State Route 7, providing direct paths to multiple occupational hubs. For those needing dependable high speed internet, Starlink is available and currently active, giving you modern connectivity in a rural environment. The current owners have poured their hearts into this home. Improvements include a newer roof, updated flooring upstairs, fresh paint, and additional upgrades throughout. Their pride in ownership is evident, and the functional layout makes this property one you will not want to miss. This home checks all the boxes: private acreage, a spacious interior, quality craftsmanship, meaningful updates, excellent garage space, and a standout location. It is beautiful, it is practical, and it is ready for its next chapter.
