This all-stone 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath home has been well maintained and beautifully updated to blend the old and the new. It is situated in walking proximity to all Worthington has to offer.

The home has large spacious open living areas with an inviting front entry. The modern kitchen has been updated with honed countertops, custom cabinetry and floating shelves, and new appliances including a six burner 36 inch gas range. The entire home has gorgeous light oak matte finish Hardwood floors, two fireplaces, a three season room, recessed lighting and light fixtures by Visual Comfort Design. The laundry room/mud room/ messy kitchen is ideally located thru the back garage entry and adjacent to the kitchen and can be closed off with a pocket door. This ranch home also features a newer roof and HVAC system, and updated electric and a new electric panel. The extra wide driveway and 2 1/2 car garage boasts loads of storage and workspace. Newly installed private concrete steps and handrail lead you down to a flat area on the banks of the Olentangy River ... a rare find.
