Nestled in a one-of-a-kind location at the southern edge of Yellow Springs, Ohio, on a peaceful, tree-lined corner lot in the Birch 2 neighborhood, this extraordinary 1960's four-bedroom, two-bath, custom mid-century modern ranch blends classic charm with thoughtful modern updates. The understated exterior belies the spectacular essence of the spacious interior with engineered hardwood floors throughout, ceramic tile bathrooms, and all the interior walls sound-insulated. A beautifully refreshed cook's kitchen offers a butcher block island and new high-end stainless steel appliances, including a 36" Italian induction/convection range and a combination microwave/convection wall oven. The home's unique all-one-level floor plan creates a compelling flow that allows for flexible use of the rooms and is ideal for entertaining. Outside, you’re steps from the bike path, hiking and equestrian trails, and the picturesque Hyde Road Covered Bridge, which can be viewed from both the home and the yard. An extra large two-car garage, a spacious green space with true forest views, and a relaxing private 14' x 12' wood deck just off the eat-in kitchen/family room complete the package. Welcome home to the perfect blend of retro vibe and today’s comforts, with an elegance that is all but lost on new construction. Please note: As the very first lot in Section 1 of the Hugh Taylor Birch 2 subdivision, this is one of only a tiny handful of in-town properties that is located next to a 5+ acre piece of protected land, owned by the Glen Helen Association. It is also across the street from another 23+ acres under the same ownership and protection, making this special Yellow Springs Village property truly unique.
