Elegant formal areas with bay windows, expanded casual areas connected by a second staircase, and a spacious kitchen are just a few highlights of this two-story brick home in the Mad River Hills gated community.

Listed for $489,000 by Sibcy Cline Realtors, the brick residence at 1949 Rustling Oak has about 3,460 square feet of living space. The house is located on a cul-de-sac with nearby guest parking and access to the community swimming pool, which is heated. A brick stamped driveway with extra parking pad leads to the side-entry, two-car garage; and stepping stones wrap around to the landscaped backyard with a stamped concrete patio and irrigation system.

The formal entry opens into a large foyer with ceramic-tile flooring and access to a half bathroom and guest closet. The semi-open staircase leads up to the second floor; and beveled-glass, French doors open into the spacious kitchen and breakfast room.

The kitchen is equipped with updated appliances, and ceramic-tile flooring fills the kitchen and breakfast room.

To the right, the formal living and dining rooms have updated neutral carpeting. The living room has a box window with window seat while the adjoining dining room has crown molding and a bay window — as well as access to the kitchen.

Granite counters complement the hickory cabinetry that fills two walls and includes a four-seat island with range. A corner double sink is below the windows; and a large planning desk is tucked near the dining room entrance. In addition to the range, the kitchen is equipped with updated appliances — including a dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator. Ceramic-tile flooring fills the kitchen and breakfast room.

A step down from the breakfast room is the family room with a coffered ceiling and brick fireplace.

A step down from the breakfast room is the family room with a coffered ceiling. A brick fireplace has a raised hearth and wood mantel. Built-in media cabinetry flanks the fireplace. French patio doors open out to a large stamped concrete patio and the landscaped backyard. Nearly hidden within one corner of the family room is a staircase that leads upstairs to the second-floor recreation room.

The formal staircase from the foyer leads up to the open loft-like hallway that wraps around the stairwell and is accented by a spindled railing. All four bedrooms, a bathroom and the recreation room are accessible from the hallway. The recreation room has a window, a closet, under-eaves storage and along one wall is a wet-bar area with an extended counter, a beverage cooler and lighted, glass-paneled hanging cabinets.

An elevated whirlpool tub has a triple-step entry and an elevated vanity has double sinks. A separate area has a walk-in, ceramic-tile shower with seat and glass doors.

Patio doors from the main bedroom suite open out to the balcony deck, while patio doors from the sunken family room open out to the backyard patio.
