About 1859 State Route 257 N
This modern farmhouse on 5 acres blends country charm with thoughtful updates already completed. Enjoy fenced pasture, creek access, and a two-story 32x40 barn with water, electric, tack room, and loft — perfect for storage, hobbies, or livestock. Located just 15 minutes from Delaware or Marysville and 45 to Columbus, this rural retreat offers privacy without sacrificing convenience — and is located in the desirable Buckeye Valley Local School District. The 2023-renovated kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, a porcelain farm sink, custom island, and a walk-in pantry with built-ins. A cozy eat-in dining space with a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace opens to a welcoming living area with durable LVP flooring and crisp white trim. The first-floor primary bedroom offers dual closets and sits just across the hall from a spa-like bath with a soaking tub, tiled shower, and convenient laundry area. Upstairs, two large bedrooms share an updated Jack & Jill bath. Though the home's footprint is efficient, storage is everywhere — with a dry cellar, two attic spaces, and a spacious barn loft. Outdoors, enjoy the above-ground pool, relax under the west-facing pergola for sunset views, or shoot hoops on the 50'x30' concrete pad with Pro Dunk hoop. A charming one-room lofted cabin with porch makes a perfect guest space or creative studio. Major updates include new HVAC, roof, siding, tankless water heater, reverse osmosis system, and high-speed fiber internet. For buyers who appreciate farmhouse charm, sunset views, and the perfect mix of smart storage with peaceful country living — this is the one. Agent related to Seller.
