Imagine having your morning coffee watching the sun rise over an expansive rolling field with a winding stream. Set in the peaceful countryside in the village, this home is the best of all worlds - this one-story brick ranch offers the quiet, nature-centered lifestyle Yellow Springs is known for. You're just up the road from Ellis Pond and the Little Miami Scenic Trail, and minutes from the YS Brewery, shops, cafés, and artsy energy of downtown. Mature trees and green lawns frame the classic brick exterior, and the covered front porch overlooks land protected by the Tecumseh Land Trust a fitting view in a town rooted in conservation. A paved driveway leads to a detached 2+ car garage, and the private lot includes a partial wood fence, and a concrete back patio perfect for gatherings and grilling overlooking the large backyard. Inside, an ornate glass-inlaid entry door welcomes guest. Improvements include a new roof and new flooring throughout main living areas (10/2022), new water heater (2025) and wide windows framing green views, including a picture window facing the Tecumseh Land Trust. There is abundant storage throughout. Ceiling fans, double doors linking the dining and living areas, - ideal for the remote workers and creatives Yellow Springs attracts. The eat-in kitchen offers a refrigerator, range and ample cabinetry, another large window overlooks the backyard, flowing into the dining area and a 28' x 12' family room also overlooking the lush fields and stream. Bedrooms serve as private retreats with large closets and built-in shelving. Bathrooms feature tile flooring, a wooden vanity, stone counters, a tiled walk-in shower with grab bars, and a laundry area with washer and dryer included. Outside, a concrete patio borders the brick exterior overlooking a fenced lawn peaceful, private, and true to the Yellow Springs spirit.
