Ranch is like a country retreat

Property features covered porches and stocked pond.

Sitting well off the road at the end of a curving paved driveway is this vinyl-sided ranch home. A large covered front porch is at the end of a landscaped walkway from the driveway which has an extra parking pad.

Surrounded by 5.25 acres, the home at 7774 Old Dayton Road has about 1,752 square feet of living space and is listed for $170,000 by Irongate Inc. Realtors.

The property includes a stocked pond with boat dock. Attached to the house is a 24-by-36-foot two-bay-door garage with room for four cars.

From the covered porch, entry is made directly into the living room which is the centerpiece to the split-floor plan designed house. The living room is open to the dining room creating an open social area. Patio doors off the dining room open to a large wooden sun deck that has views of the tree-lined property and pond.

A peninsula counter divides the dining room from the step-saver kitchen. Hanging cabinets above the countertop have pass-through glass doors. A window is above the double sink and the kitchen comes equipped with a range, dishwasher and refrigerator.

A hallway from the dining room leads to two bedrooms and a full bathroom. The two bedrooms have six-panel door, walk-in closets. The guest bath features a tub/ shower, single-sink vanity, built-in medicine cabinet, and vinyl flooring.

The main bedroom is off a short hallway on the opposite side of the great room. The bedroom has a rear window that overlooks the pond. The private bath has an oversized vanity with single sink and make-up desk and a large soak tub with shower. There is also a walk-in closet.
