The second bedroom is designed to allow some flexibility to the floor plan of this brick ranch located within the Northgate subdivision of Fairborn.

Listed for $159,900 by RE/MAX Home Base, the ranch at 1357 Northgate Blvd. has about 1,560 square feet of living space. The house sits on a corner lot with a two-car garage and a tree-lined back yard. The property is located within a 55-plus community of Northgate Estates with a low association fee that includes lawn maintenance and snow removal on the private roads.

Entrance to the ranch is tucked off one side and is covered, creating a front covered patio. The front door opens into a small foyer that opens into a living room with a picture window. All the windows have wood trim work.

A hallway from the living room leads to two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom has a walk-in closet and a private bathroom. The bath has a walk-in shower, a single-sink vanity and vinyl flooring. The hallway ends at the guest bath, which has a tub/shower and single-sink vanity.

The guest bedroom is spacious enough to become a sitting room or small family room. A short hallway has access to a sliding-door closet and opens into a laundry room. The room has the laundry hook-ups along one wall and along the opposite wall is cabinetry with hanging cabinets and a countertop.

There is a large walk-in closet and access to the two-car garage, which has additional storage space and houses the mechanical closet. Another door from the bonus room opens to the Florida room, which has carpeting and screened-windows for three-season use.

A door opens out to the concrete patio. The back yard has a wall of evergreens, which provides additional privacy.

Back at the front of the house off the living room is the eat-in kitchen. A bay window provides natural light as does a skylight above the breakfast bar. Along one wall of the breakfast room is cabinetry that includes a planning desk and buffet counter. The kitchen has a wall of cabinetry and laminate countertops that surround appliances and the double sink. Access to the garage is off the kitchen.

Other features include gas forced-air furnace, central air conditioning and city services.
