This vinyl-sided, custom-built ranch home (1999) sits on an open 1-acre-plus lot backing up to farmland. It is in the Northeaste­rn Local School District.

The newly paved driveway leads to the attached, two-car garage with opener with a concrete walkway connecting the drive to the fully covered front porch. The driveway also has an extension with a basketball hoop. The front porch is wood decking with wood pillars.

The front door is covered by a decorative storm door and has an oval glass window. The entryway has luxury vinyl tile and leads directly into the living room with neutral carpeting and a ceiling fan. This room also has recessed lighting.

The living room is open to the dining room, which has luxury vinyl tile flooring, a ceiling fan, a door to the garage and a sliding glass door leading to the rear patio.

The dining area is open to the updated kitchen, which has two decorative ceiling lights, a breakfast bar with wainscotin­g and a solid-surface counter extending throughout the remainder of the kitchen. Appliances include a range, refrigerat­or, microwave and dishwasher. There is a pantry off the kitchen and a tile backsplash.

A hallway off the living room leads to the bedrooms. The master bedroom has luxury vinyl-tile flooring, a ceiling fan, a closet with double bi-fold doors, and an en suite bathroom. The bath has vinyl flooring, vanity with solid-surface top and a tub/ shower combinatio­n.

The two smaller bedrooms have luxury vinyl-tile flooring, ceiling fans and double closets. There is another full bath off the hallway with tub/shower combinatio­n, solid-surface-topped vanity and wall cabinet. There is also a laundry room with built-in shelving and washer and dryer hookup.

The rear yard is partially fenced with wire mesh and wood fencing. There is a wood deck off the dining area with railings and an additional wood deck off the garage. The home has a new metal roof and new electric furnace. There is also a wood storage shed outside the fenced area.
