Worry-free gravity-drained french drains (no sump pump needed), extrawide concrete drive with spacious turnarounds, and professionally landscaped lot w/ mature blue spruce stand across rear of lot.  Herb garden and shade garden. The lot next door is available and would add another 110' of frontage and 0.7 acres to the property if desired. This home was built by Countryside Home Builders of Salem, Inc., according to plans for "The Tattersall" from Frank Betz Associates Inc., with some additions, and attention was paid to the architectural details, such as cut limestone keystones, balustrades, and front stoop step, and the brick quoin corners. Structural options elected by the builder/owner included yellow pine floor joists (denser than white pine) on 12" centers on main floor, 5/8" drywall, drywalling around pre-placed ceiling barn beams, glued and screwed 3/4" plywood subflooring, plywood subflooring coated with linseed oil/turpentine during construction to insure moisture integrity until roofing was in place, 30-yr dimensional shingles and rubber membrane in all roof valleys, RidgeVent for adequate attic ventilation, gravel backfill 2/3 of basement wall height and concrete skimcoating of block walls prior to tarring to insure a dry basement.  For appearances, the brick joints were raked instead of struck, and the front sidewalk was colortinted and cobblestone impressioned.  Gutters have leafguard screening installed.  The owners are downsizing as the last of the children begins college. This home is well-maintained and very clean.  One would invest over $800K to build this home in NE Ohio today, just 14 years after its construction.  This home is being sold "BY OWNER" through a listing with www.OhioStateRealty.com  Please visit the website, enter MLS # 2436359 and see the VIRTUAL TOUR for panoramic viewing of each room area.
