2-story includes side-entry garage, covered porches
Contributing Writer
An addition to the back of a traditional two-story house offers a couple of different floor plan options.
Listed for $149,900 by RE/MAX HomeBase, the frame two-story at 31 Greene St. has about 2,015 square feet of living space, plus a semi-finished basement. The house is located a couple of blocks from downtown Fairborn, and the property includes a two-car, side-entry garage, a semi-private back yard, three covered porches and a concrete driveway.
Formal entry opens directly in to the living room with a masonry fireplace and a picture window with interior shutters. Hardwood floors are under the carpeting, and the staircase to the upstairs is to the right of the front door.
Straight back and accessible from two separate walkways are the kitchen and breakfast room. A peninsula counter divides the breakfast from the kitchen, provides seating for three and has added storage and work space. The kitchen has ample cabinetry and counter space, including a planning desk. A pass through is above the double sink and the appliances convey.
French doors open off the breakfast room to the back of the house, which is currently set up as a family room. This space could easily be used as a first-floor main bedroom as it has a walk-in closet and access to a full bathroom. There is a skylight within the vaulted ceiling, corner windows and a door that opens to a covered side deck.
A pocket door opens from the family room into the full bathroom, which has a step-in shower with fiberglass surround and a single-sink vanity. A laundry room has additional storage.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bedrooms have hardwood floors, oversized closets and barrel curved ceiling treatments. One bedroom has an additional storage nook above the stairwell. The full bath has basket-weave, ceramic-tile flooring, a tub/shower and a single-sink with mirrored medicine cabinet above.
A hidden staircase off the kitchen leads to the semi-finished basement. Half the basement has been finished into a recreation room with knotty pine accents, built-in storage cabinets, tile flooring and glass-block windows. The other half of the basement has a workshop, the home’s mechanical systems and a half bathroom.
The back yard is surrounded by trees and fencing. The concrete driveway creates a patio setting off the covered side deck.
