TIMELESS FRENCH CONTEMPORARY
3-bedroom sits at edge of Beavercreek Golf Course.
The French Contemporary ranch at 2776 Torrey Pines Drive sits against a backdrop of mature trees at the edge of Beavercreek Golf Course.
The home was barely eight years old when current owners saw it the first time. It was a kind of love-at-first-sight moment. They liked the interior because it was move-in ready.
Then they saw the back yard with a pathway curving at the far edge between clusters of trees toward the eleventh hole of Beavercreek Golf Course.
“We’re not golfers, but we do like the golf atmosphere,” said the co-owner.
“The outdoors coming in from the windows was stunning to me,” she said. “It’s a private back yard. The tree colors will be gorgeous in the next couple of weeks.”
To enjoy the view, there are three patios connected by a curving walkway edged with lushly landscaped flower beds. The partially covered patio at the center is ideal for dining. One of the two end patios is used for the outdoor grill away from the dining space.
Brett Williford of Irongate Realtors Inc. said, “It is exceptionally built, lovingly updated and meticulously maintained.”
All this attention results in a timeless, like-new appearance.
Williford mentioned original features such as “the oversized-window package, a lot of millwork with rich finishes, rounded corner beads on the dry wall and 10- to 12-foot ceilings.”
The co-owner added, “The whole house interior was repainted in the past eight months. We added new carpet in the main bedroom, the office and the media room last year.”
With about 3,560 square feet of living space, the home is listed for $449,900.
Topped by a wide transom the double door with leaded glass inserts opens into a wide central entry.
Fluted casings edge the angled doorway into the living room, where triple windows are topped with transoms.
Five round columns frame the formal dining room, which sits under a double
tray ceiling with rounded beads and double crown moldings. An alcove is recessed into one wall for a buffet or a hutch.
Large ceramic tile extends through the entry on to a walk around the great room, which is cushioned with inset carpet. Angled in a corner, a paneled white mantel surrounds the fireplace, which is accented with marble tile facing. Triple windows with transoms face the central patio.
Separating the great room and the bay-windowed breakfast area, a semi-circular quartz counter extends on to the end wall of the open kitchen, where raised-panel oversized cabinets frame the work space on both sides.
The co-owner said, “Quartz counters were added to the kitchen four years ago. The wall oven, microwave and dishwasher were replaced about a year ago.”
An overhang provides bar seating at the center island, which is installed with a smooth-surface cooktop under accent lights.
Up two steps from the hallway, the media room has a triple window arrangement with a door to the patio. The wet bar has an under-counter beverage cooler.
Features in the office include double crown moldings, neutral carpet and a double wall closet. The hall bath provides a shower and a pedestal sink.
Williford said, “This whole area could be a suite for
extended family members.”
Two of the home’s three bedrooms are connected Jack-and-Jill style with a central bath flanked with separate vanities.
The bedroom in the main suite has tall windows and an atrium door to one patio. Double doors open to the bath with its Jacuzzi jetted tub set in quartz tile under upper walls tiled in marble.
Rectangular porcelain tile surrounds the separate shower with smaller marble tile accents. There are two separate vanities.
Solid-shelf organizers wrap around the walk-in closet, which connects to a second seasonal closet.
Regarding location, the co-owner said, “It’s five minutes from everything you need. Still I have the feeling of being out in the country.”
