860 BRUSH ROW ROAD, XENIA TWP.

A multi-level deck, detailed landscaping and a koi pond with sitting space are all nestled among the trees on 4.94 acres of land in Xenia Twp.

Listed for $599,900 by Irongate Inc. Realtors, the brick-and-stone ranch at 860 Brush Row Road has about 4,410 square feet of living space. The open concept, split-floor plan design has a full, finished, walk-out lower level that has a multipurpose floor plan design.

A gated, paved driveway curves among the trees to the side-entry, three-car garage. The front yard is trimmed with island flower gardens, and a walkway wraps around to the covered front porch overlooking a waterfall and koi pond.

The front door opens into an open foyer with hardwood flooring that flows within the adjoining formal dining room and the great room. A cathedral ceiling peaks above the great room and kitchen. Off the foyer to the right is a possible office or secluded living room with corner windows. The designated dining room has glass patio doors that open to the front porch, and an arched window fills the room with natural light.

Glass doors in the great room are flanked by tall sidelight windows open to a multi-level wooden deck that has a built-in hot tub and pergola. Steps lead down to a gravel walkway that wraps up to the driveway. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY KATHY TYLER

A two-level peninsula counter divides the kitchen from the great room. Countertops were updated to premium granite and complement the maple cabinetry.
