About this House

Peaceful Country Living Just Minutes from Town. This charming 3-bedroom 1-bath home sits on 3.7 beautiful acres and offers comfort, updates, and a great location. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a designated dining area perfect for everyday meals or gatherings. Convenient main-floor laundry eliminates the need for basement trips, while the bright, inviting living room fills with natural light. Down the hall, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bath. Enjoy your morning coffee in the sunroom (currently being used as a playroom) or simply take in the peaceful views that surround the property. Recent improvements include a new roof (2022), furnace and central air (2023), hot water tank (2022), and a new well installed September 2025-giving you peace of mind for years to come. Just in case the full basement isn't enough for your storage needs, the property has both an attached two-car garage and a detached two-car garage with electric and a propane heater-ideal for storage, hobbies, or a workshop. You'll love the setting-close to the bike path and the Hocking River (outside the floodplain), just minutes to The Plains and Athens, and convenient for commuters to Logan, Lancaster, or Columbus.

    "very college oriented town, lots of farmers markets and breweries! safe and quiet mostly year round, students can cause an increase in music heard in the evenings but OU does not get out of control like it used to years ago. plenty of nature and wildlife around as well, you’ll be surprised at just how often you get to see deer in your own backyard!
