12612 Scatter Ridge Rd, Athens, OH 45701

Magical, secluded 4 bedroom, 3 bath contemporary home nestled in the tall trees and colorful perennial gardens on 7.73 acres M/L of peaceful privacy. A bridge leads to the front deck and entrance door which opens to a slate foyer with dramatic high ceiling, then a few steps down into the huge living room with cathedral ceiling, oak floors, a wall of windows and doors with a view of the woods and access to the full length deck. The beautiful slate hearth area has a cozy wood burning stove for those cold winter nights. The holiday-sized dining room also has oak floors and doors to the deck and a great woodsy view. The cook's kitchen has a butcher block island with Jennaire downdraft cook top, double wall oven, big refrigerator and dishwasher. The large window over the sink has a wonderful view of the terraced gardens. The huge first floor master has a cathedral ceiling, doors to the deck, 2 double wall closets, plus a large walk-in closet with organizer shelves and rods. The dramatic master bath has a spacious walk-in tile shower lit by a solar tube. Upstairs there is a balcony office area overlooking both the living room and the surrounding woods. 2 good sized bedrooms, each with double wall closets and a "Jack-and-Jill" bath with a shower tub and slate/tile floor complete the upper floor. On the lower level, there is a huge party-sized family room with propane peninsula fireplace and walk-out doors to a covered gravel patio with swing, and space for wood storage. The laundry area has a convenient folding counter. A large 4th bedroom comes with a matching armoire closet, and a very nice window. The third, full, lower-level spacious bath has a shower tub. Another lower-level room can be used for storage, an office, or perhaps a 5th bedroom. A very special home and property: private, peaceful, secluded, lush perennial gardens, trails and foot bridges through the woods. Located very close to Strouds Run state park! A must see before you decide!
