With a canopy of mature trees as its backdrop, this brick ranch offers three bedrooms, a large versatile bonus room, a two-car garage and a one-car detached garage with covered patio, all on 4.9 acres.

Listed for $229,000 by Lyle Bixler Realty, the brick ranch at 3630 Arcanum Bears Mill Road has about 2,360 square feet of living space. The house sits well off the road with a paved driveway that has an extra parking pad and ends at the attached garage. A trimmed lawn surrounds the house while the woods have nature paths throughout.

Formal entry opens to a foyer hallway with hardwood flooring that continues into the breakfast room and kitchen to the left. A hallway to the right leads to the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms.

Straight off the foyer and one step down is the formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace. The fireplace has a wood mantel and is flanked by built-in bookcases and cabinets. A bow window allows for views of the back yard and woods.

A peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the breakfast nook. The galley-style kitchen has a ceramic-tile backsplash and a widow above the double sink. Brick and knotty pine paneling accent the walls within both rooms. The kitchen comes equipped with a cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. Bi-fold doors open to the laundry hook-ups and cabinet storage. A door from the kitchen opens into the garage.

Double doors from the dining room open into a bonus room, which is currently set up as a hobby room. Built-ins offer counter space and storage or could be converted into a media center for a possible recreation or family room. This room has access to the garage and has two windows.

The hallway from the foyer opens into a large space with access to three bedrooms, a full bathroom and two walk-in closets. Two bedrooms are at the front of the house and have sliding-door closets. The guest bath features a tub/shower and a double-sink vanity.

The main bedroom is off the back of the house and has a private divided bathroom. The dressing area has two sliding-door closets and a double-sink vanity while the second room has a step-in shower.
