Front sunroom adds extra living space
Contributing Writer
Hidden among the trees near the Little Miami River in the village of Oregonia, this brick ranch is built into a hill-side on a 1.32-acre lot and has been recently renovated.
Listed for $214,900 by Collins Real Estate Services, the ranch at 5535 Olive Branch Road has about 1,940 square feet of living space. The house is really hidden from view from the main roadway, and a gravel drive has extra parking. Walkways lead to a front concrete patio and the two-car, attached garage.
A four-season sunroom is at the front of the house and provides additional living space as it has five windows, an etched-glass single-door entrance, a set of patio doors that open to the front patio, carpeting, ceiling paddle fans and a baseboard heat option.
Formal entry opens from the sunroom into a foyer hallway with ceramic-tile flooring and a guest closet. The hallway ends with a second central hallway that leads to the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms.
Directly to the right is the formal living room with a window that looks into the sunroom. A ceramic-tile hearth has a wood-burning stove perched upon it, and brick accents the wall. Updated neutral carpeting fills the living room and continues down the hallway into each of the three bedrooms.
Accessible from the living room and the hallway are the combined kitchen and dining room. The kitchen had been totally renovated with granite countertops, off-white cabinetry, accent lights within the soffits about the counters, a single sink and stainless-steel appliances. A peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the dining room and wood-plank flooring fills both rooms.
There is a tubular skylight within the kitchen area and a picture window that looks out over the back yard within the dining room.
A door from the dining room opens into the two-car, attached garage, which has a tubular skylight and pull-down attic access. A door at the back of the garage opens into a bonus room, large enough for a workshop or hobby area as there is a wash tub and a private half bath with single-sink vanity. A second door opens to the back yard, which has a storage shed and a greenhouse.
Back inside, the central hallway leads to three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room, which has the mechanical systems that were installed in 2018.
The main bedroom is at the back of the house and has a private bathroom with a corner shower, a single-sink vanity and vinyl flooring. The guest bath has a whirlpool tub, oversized single-sink vanity and vinyl flooring. All three bedrooms have large closets with solid-wood doors that match the interior doors.
