- By Kathy Tyler Contributi­ng Writer

With 1.27 acres, a barn and fenced pasture and woods, this ranch home offers a little bit of country with the city nearby.

Listed for $169,000 by Better Homes and Garden Big Hill Real Estate, the vinyl-sided ranch at 251 Fairground Road in Xenia Twp. has about 1,600 square feet of living space. Vinyl replacemen­t windows, a dimensiona­l roof, gutters and downspouts were installed in 2010. Central air conditioni­ng was installed in 2009.

The house has propane heat, city water and a septic system.

The 1.27-acre property includes the main residence, a two-car, detached garage with two separate overhead doors and an attached carport and a two-story barn with two horse stalls and a workshop area. Both outbuildin­gs have tin roofs. Extra paved parking pads lead to the entrances to the garage, barn and connect to the rear concrete patio of the house.

Woods and some pastures have a gated fenced area, and the back yard is open and tree lined. A covered front porch protects the formal entry to the house, and the rear patio is accessible from the breakfast room.

The home’s main entrance opens directly into the living room. The small entry pad has hardwood flooring and access to a guest closet. The living room features a brick, gas fireplace with a stone mantel and brick hearth. A partial wall, accented by open display shelves, divides the living room from the formal dining room and creates openness between the two rooms. Off the dining room is a bonus room, which is currently set up as a family room but could be used as an office or fourth bedroom.

Accessible from both the living room and the dining room, the kitchen and breakfast room stretches across the back of the house. A cathedral peak ceiling opens the long space. The kitchen area is U-shaped in design with plenty of oak cabinetry. Ceramic tile accents the wall space, and a double sink is below a window. There is a pantry closet, and vinyl flooring fills both the kitchen and breakfast room. The breakfast room has a picture window and a single door that opens to the rear patio.

Off the breakfast room is the laundry area with hanging cabinetry above the hook-ups.

A door opens from the laundry area to a full bathroom, which has a corner sink and a fiberglass step-in shower. The bathroom has access to the main bedroom.

A hallway from the living room leads to the bedroom wing of the house where there are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. All three bedrooms have large sliding-door closets. One bedroom has two closets, and the main bedroom completes the circular floor plan with a hallway entrance and bathroom entrance.

The guest bath features a tub/shower and single-sink vanity with triple-mirror medicine cabinet.
