This custom house is located on 27.76 acres of land, providing wildlife enjoyment and arable land to increase income.

Galbreath Realtors is listed for $659,500. The modern frame at 3375 E. State Route 55 has approximately 1,450 square feet of living space on the main floor, plus a semi-finished lower floor, adding to the versatility of the floor plan.

The double-package property along Lost Creek in Miami County has a large number of mature trees, rolling hills and open farmland. The tree-lined gravel driveway leads to the formal front entrance, while the rear of the house has a wall of windows and a wrap-around balcony deck, creating the atmosphere of a country house. The formal entrance faces the back of the property, and the gravel driveway allows additional parking spaces near the driveway leading to the two-car garage.

Two entrance doors lead to two different parts of the house. A more casual entrance near the garage leads to a mud room with plenty of built-in storage space and internal access to the garage.

The formal entrance leads to an entrance hall with a slate floor, which leads to all areas of the house. The entrance hall leads to the kitchen, the large room, the bathroom, the corridor to the bedroom wing and the stairs to the lower level.

Bleached mahogany woodwork dotted the walls and doorways. The same woodwork creates display corners, shelves and cabinets. The cathedral ceiling reaches its peak at the end of the foyer and above the large room. Wooden beams protrude from the ceiling, and windows with patio doors extend from floor to ceiling in the large room. The window wall extends to the breakfast room, and natural light fills the large room and kitchen area.

The triple patio doors lead to the wrap-around wooden deck, offering views of the front yard, side yard and the wooded area along the creek.

The cabinet separates the kitchen from the large room, but has a passage that can be used to set up a bar or buffet. The U-shaped kitchen has light wood cabinets with white countertops. The preparation station has two wooden countertops. There is plenty of storage space on both sides of the cabinet, including a peninsula-style counter that separates the kitchen from the dining area. The kitchen is equipped with double sinks, stovetop, dishwasher and wall-hung stove. There is a pantry next to the dining area.

The extra room is next to the dining room, large enough to be used as a study or office area, and has vaulted ceilings, windows and built-in bookcase walls. The circular floor plan is complete because the mud room can also be accessed from the breakfast room.

The hallway leads to three bedrooms and a full bathroom. All three bedrooms have large wardrobes, ceiling lights and vinyl windows. Each bedroom has additional built-in devices such as shelves and bookcases, and one of the bedrooms has a hidden passage to the laundry sink.

The complete bathroom has an updated vanity with a sturdy single sink countertop and a bathtub/shower cubicle. There is a triple mirror with medicine cabinet and wood laminate floor.

One bedroom has private access to a half-bathroom, which can also be accessed from the hallway. The half bathroom has a full storage wall.

The stairwell in the foyer leads to the pedestrian area on the lower level. Half of the lower level is the living space that completes the combination of family room and recreation room. The stone fireplace with wood-burning inserts is the core of the room, and there is an extended stone stove on the stone pillars.

There is a floor-to-ceiling window next to the fireplace, and a built-in media shelf and wooden cabinet on the wall. Natural light fills the room through windows and patio doors, which lead to the concrete patio. The house is built on a hillside with a horizontal terrace and panoramic view, which is covered by a balcony deck.

The wall space throughout the room has display or media corners, a built-in bench, and a doorway to the unfinished area.

The corridor leads to the half bathroom and utility room. This room has a laundry room, shower area, laundry tub, windows and side doors.

The room is currently set up as a workshop. Water heaters, hot water propane heaters and water softeners are all hidden to leave usable living space. A single door leads to a side yard with an outdoor fire pit area.

The other bonus room is outside the recreation room. Apart from a wall of bookshelves, this room is not finished yet, but there are many options for the room because it has a possible closet area and a large window.
