This is your next home if you want to live convenient to Powell or Dublin, yet want to feel like you’re living “away from it all”. Enjoy your 1.2 acres with mature trees, or take a stroll down the drive, across the road to be at the Scioto River’s edge. Or for other entertainment, you’re minutes from Powell or Dublin restaurants or shopping at Polaris & Tuttle Malls. Or just hop into your own private hot tub on the large tiered deck.
If you’re into “grown-up toys”, there’s a really nice detached 24′x32′ garage building that would be a great workshop or storage for smaller boat, jet skis, snowmobiles, ATV’s, cycles or whatever you want to do in there. It has 220 electricity and workbench as well. The oversized 2-car attached garage has an epoxy-coated floor for protection.
There’s a spacious (2452 sq ft) 4 BR home as well. It has formal rooms (LR, DR), a terrific kitchen with an eating area that overlooks the tiered deck. All kitchen appliances stay including the Jenn-Aire range. Notice there’s plenty of cabinet storage for all your entertaining supplies & under-counter lighting for easier food prep. You’ve love time spent in the comfortable family room with gas log, raised hearth brick fireplace and nearby built-in bookcase. Each floor has a full bath available.

The Wheels on the Bus go round & round
Like other states, Ohio has a budget problem that our new Republican Governor is trying to fix. Discussions are taking place on revenue options for schools to prevent taxes from being raised to solve the budget problem. It’s been suggested that schools be allowed to sell ad space on the school buses.
If this occurs, I just know that Realtors® will be the first to buy ad space for the visibility throughout neighborhood homes. They’re the same agents who paste their face on park benches and grocery carts.
They’re high-profile, not aerodynamic, and still use the hard brown seats without seatbelts. I don’t understand why they need to be so high unless it’s to allow people to stand up inside.
I wonder if buses could be downsized to a Hummer-like long vehicle like a limo? Since many schools pick up elementary kids separate from the highschool kids, they’re carrying fewer students each trip out. Maybe two of the Hummer-type buses could replace one typical bus at less cost with greater safety built-in. How important is it to stand up in the bus vs the potential cost savings?
Does anyone know whether there have been any challenges to the typical school bus design? Is there a perfectly good reason for the design to stay the same? Or has no one asked the question as to why this sacred cow remains unchanged?
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
