Step into a charming time capsule with this throwback ranch. This house is fun! Meticulously cared for one owner home is retro cool and has gorgeous views of Ohio's heartland. Tucked away from the road and surrounded by mature landscaping, you pull into the drive and see a large detached two car garage and a fairytale front yard bordered by heirloom peonies. The house is surprisingly large. Step inside the front door into the huge living room that has a bank of west-facing windows for sunset views across the spacious backyard and distant farm fields. A three-season room off the living room takes you one step closer to the outdoors and to the best climbing tree for miles around. The original attached one car garage has been converted to an artist's studio. A partially finished full basement adds another dimension to the home, offering both practicality and versatility. Whether it's used for storage, hobbies like woodworking or crafting, or even transformed into a cozy entertainment area, the possibilities are endless. The waterproofing ensures peace of mind and opens even more potential for utilizing the space. At the back of the property is a building with double doors: a bay for parking yard machines and a workshop with electric. Back inside is a cute, just right-sized kitchen with appliances and custom storage above the cabinets, plus three bedrooms with ample closet space. Hardwood floors lie under the carpet in the other two bedrooms, the hallway, and most of the living room. The location of this property strikes the perfect balance between privacy and convenience. Nestled in a private and quiet area, it offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, yet it's still conveniently located near Urbana and Springfield, providing easy access to amenities and services. This home speaks love-it's where a family grew up and an artist nurtured her creativity. Now it's your turn.
