1991 Bald Eagle Drive

Ranch buyers usually want two things: no stairs and no surprises. This one gives you a single floor to live on and now a brand-new roof and exterior trim to keep the expensive surprises away. You can see the difference from the curb: a brick front with arched windows, crisp white trim, fresh landscaping, and a roof with nothing left to explain. |+| Inside, the ceiling goes up where most ranches keep it low. The vaulted great room has a gas fireplace on one wall and tall windows on the others, and flows into a kitchen that faces the room instead of a wall: gray cabinets, stainless appliances, and an island big enough to spread out on, so whoever's cooking isn't cooking alone. Past it, the bay-window breakfast nook catches the morning sun. Company ends up sharing the same 'Common Ground' instead of splitting into separate rooms. |+| The owner's suite keeps the vaulted ceiling going, and its bathroom is the one room that clearly got the budget: floor-to-ceiling tile, a spa shower with a rain head, body jets, and a bench you'll actually sit on, plus a double vanity and a hand-built walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms and a full bath sit on the opposite side, so guests get their own wing. A front room off the entry works as an office or a reading room, and the laundry is on the main floor, so the basement stairs are the only ones you'll use, and only when you want to. |+| Downstairs, the open basement is ready to become a gym, a rec room, or a craft space, with a crawl space for the holiday bins. The three-car garage gives the cars their bays with room left for a workbench. Out back, the patio opens to a fully fenced yard and a pergola strung with lights for dinner outside. The Pinnacle golf course and Cimi's Bistro are around the corner, Scioto Grove Metro Park is ten minutes by bike, and the shops around Stringtown and Buckeye Parkway are four minutes by car. The only surprise left is how much you'll like that shower.
