8000 Stone Castle Rd, Athens, OH 45701

One Level Best. Perched high in a best-kept-secret, country-town neighborhood--minutes from Athens--this one-story home stands out in so many ways. On more than 2 acres, it sits way off the road, up where views are pretty, with features you hope for in a region where housing is always in short supply and long demand. Its architecture makes liberal use of vaulted ceilings, layout is open--but not too--and floor plan is that lovely split that puts the main living in the center of it all. Inside & outside living get equal billing. Inside, a great room has flexible space that can be all grand living room, or have a large living space AND dining wing. The kitchen offers the same flexibility. The owner suite has perhaps the largest closet we've seen, and a setup that makes you feel more like you're on vacation than at home. Two other bedrooms & cozy family room round out finished space. Plus there is a giant laundry and large workshop that can double as many things (think fitness room, crafts). Outside a spacious screened-in porch off the kitchen is a whole other room. The deck off the great room--ditto. Owners have updated and maintained this home continuously.
