COVER HOUSE

10825 LOCHARD ROAD, SIDNEY

2.4-acre setting surrounds 3-bedroom ranch

Contributing writer

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever was never a truer statement than when describing the ranch home in its country setting at 10825 Lochard Road in Sidney.

According to one current owner, you can see across open fields to buildings about 3.5 miles away, and for most city dwellers that would seem like forever.

We moved from Cleveland and we thought we would like to try country living, said the other owner. We wanted a ranch home with a basement. (This one) was being built when we found it.

Because the home was not yet finished, they were able to make a few changes in the floor plan, such as adding skylights and enlisting the help of a kitchen designer to incorporate desired amenities.

Set on an open lot of 2.4 acres, this ranch home offers about 1,790 square feet of living space, plus a full, unfinished basement.

Patty Murphy of Galbreath Realtors lists this home for $189,900.

Cool breezes flow across the front porch, where a wooden swing invites sitting in the shade surrounded by a matching wood railing. Protected by a storm door, the six-paneled front door opens into an entry with ceramic-tile flooring.

Oak casings frame the opening into the living room and the triple window that faces the front porch.

Neutral carpet extends into the open dining room, which has built-in curio shelves recessed into the wall at one corner.

At the end of the entry a skylight recessed into a deep well provides natural light at the entrance to the family room, which enjoys a gas log fireplace with ceramic-tile facing and an oak mantel with fluted posts. Wood-framed sliding glass doors open to the raised deck from which the open view can be enjoyed. Flat stones edge the landscaped flowerbeds around the deck. A short distance away from the house, another wood deck creates an easy entry to the above-ground swimming pool. Nearby is a barn-style storage shed. A fire pit sits about center of the deep green space, which ends at an open field with pines and maple trees at the edge.

Another skylight adds daylight to the kitchens U-shaped workspace, which is framed by oak cabinets, most with slide-out shelves. An appliance garage is installed at the end of the peninsular counter, which provides a separation from the breakfast room.

Conventional and microwave wall ovens are stacked together near the side-by-side refrigerator. The four-burner gas cooktop and the dishwasher were replaced about three years ago.

A boxed bay window enjoys the backyard view from the breakfast area, which has a buffet station set on the back wall with a pantry cabinet and upper glass-door display cabinets.

The half-bath is adjacent the mudroom, which offers washer/dryer hookups and access to the oversized, two-car garage, where there is a pull-down ladder to reach the upper storage space.

On the opposite side of the entry, a hallway leads to sleeping quarters and a hall bath with a tub-and-shower combination.

Another full bath with tub and shower is in a private corner of the main bedroom suite, which offers a walk-in closet and double windows with the rear nature view. All three bedrooms have paddle fans.

The full, unfinished basement offers a second set of washer/dryer hookups, a deep laundry tub and built-in storage shelves. A well expansion tank was added early this year. The sump pump, patio door and carpeting were replaced in 2015; furnace and water softener in 2014; and a new roof was installed in 2012.

This location is in the Sidney school district. Shelby Oaks Golf Course is about a mile away.

For current owners, the experiment in country living worked they have enjoyed the home for 23 years.

Its a peaceful and relaxing place to come home to, said one owner.

The other added, When our family comes to visit, they love it.

Peaceful country view - MyDaytonDailyNews

By Alex Maxwell, Herald Democrat

With a Tudor-like exterior and a rustic Texan interior, a 5,476-square-foot home outside Sherman offers spacious, comfortable living.

Inside the quiet, gated Woodland Hills neighborhood, the house at 42 Red Oak Court is situated on a secluded sloping lot of just under six acres. The house sits behind a tree line, and a short bridge leads to the long drive that circles in front and winds to the garages on the side. The house features four bedrooms in the main house, each with a full bathroom, and a garage apartment with two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The back of the house overlooks a luxurious pool and hot tub with a fenced-in green pasture behind.

Walking through the front, oversized, wooden door, past a front, covered patio, a grand entry room with tall ceilings greets visitors. An office is situated to the right of the staircase, and a formal dining room is on the left. A hallway next to the staircase leads past the dining room and connected bar featuring a wine cooler to the kitchen and main living room.

The kitchen, which opens to the living room, features a long bar with seating, a commercial-grade gas stove placed between stonework and a large island with a deep drawer to hold pots and pans. The kitchen also contains a built-in refrigerator, a built-in microwave, an ice maker, a trash compactor and a dishwasher.

The main living room with wooden beams running across the ceiling has a stone, gas fireplace in the corner. Homeowner Brenda Rose said the fireplace is currently outfitted with a wood-burning stove, which can be easily removed so the gas fireplace can be used. A built-in bookcase and media center is next to the stove.

On the side of the kitchen is the guest bedroom suite. The suite contains a large closet, a full-size bathroom and a separate front door that accesses the porch. On the other side of the kitchen, a mudroom and second office with a built-in desk connects to the garage.

Donna Johnson-Nora, the listing real estate agent with Virginia Cook Realtors, noted the house has plenty of storage, which is evidenced by the many closets and tucked away spaces, like the coat closet in the mudroom and the cellar under the staircase that doubles as a storm shelter.

On the south section of the house, a hallway near the entry area leads to the master bedroom suite. Off this hallway, a large laundry room thats also accessible from the master bedroom features countertop space, a full-sized sink, a cedar-lined closet and a laundry chute from the second floor.

The master bedroom has a second connected room thats currently used as an exercise room, but Johnson-Nora noted the space could make for a sitting area, study or a nursery. The room also has access to the back patio and pool area. The master bathroom features double sinks, a large walk-in shower and an oversized jetted bathtub.

The house wraps around a nearly enclosed, covered patio. The patio has a vaulted wooden ceiling that extends past the second floor and a stone fireplace is situated on the side between a built-in grill and countertop space, which can be concealed by large folding doors. The patio is just feet from the pool, which has built-in water features and well-manicured flower beds next to it. A half bathroom is also accessible from the pool area.

Going upstairs, a long landing has a series of windows overlooking the patio. The landing connects the two upstairs bedrooms, a game room and the media room. The game room has a bar in a back nook with a dumbwaiter that connects to the kitchen. The space also has a small balcony overlooking the back covered patio. Off the game room is the media/home theater room with elevated seating and a large screen and projector. A staircase on the second floor leads to a third-story deck overlooking the backyard.

The deck upstairs is beautiful you can view fireworks from it, Rose said. Its just gorgeous.

The house has two separate garages with space to park five vehicles inside. The second garage, detached from the house but connected by a covered walkway, has a full bathroom inside and workshop space with a sink. A staircase leads to an upstairs apartment with a full kitchen, a bathroom, two bedrooms and a washer and dryer. Rose noted her parents currently live in the space. Behind the second garage is a small storage building next to a vegetable garden.

It has good garage space; I have a big truck and most garages wont accommodate my truck, Rose said.

Rose said the house provides a relaxing atmosphere and plenty of privacy. With its many entertaining spaces, she said the property is perfect for a family.

Were the favorite home out of my sons friends, Rose said. All the boys come ever here; its the hangout house.

Although the neighborhood is quiet and upscale, Rose said its friendly. She said when they moved into the house in 2010, their neighbors welcomed them and brought food and gifts over. The neighborhood also holds holiday gatherings and has a community environment.

The neighborhood is extremely quiet, very friendly, Rose said. When you go into a gated subdivision, a lot of people think of it as being keeping up with the Joneses its not that way at all.

The property is listed for sale for $1.15 million.

Spacious rustic house outside Sherman suited for entertaining - Nueces County Record Star

By Rusty Bradshaw Independent Newsmedia

Being a retirement community or triple digit heat keeps crime down in Sun City.

A community homeowner found this out the hard way last week. At around 7 a.m. June 20 Maricopa County Sheriffs deputies were dispatched to a home in the 10600 block of West Connecticut Avenue for a report of a suspicious male in the area, according to Sgt. Calbert Gillett, Maricopa County Sheriffs Office spokesman. The homeowner then reported to 911 dispatch the man had forcibly entered her home through a patio door and would not leave.

She said that she had never seen the man before and did not know who he was, Mr. Gillett stated in an email.

The homeowner feared for her safety and left the residence to call 911 from the street. The suspicious male had barricaded himself inside her residence, according to Mr. Gillett. Deputies made numerous attempts to contact the barricaded suspect and after approximately one hour, the male, identified as Paul Termini, was taken into custody without injuries and booked into the 4th Avenue Jail on multiple charges.

While some Sun City residents leave for other locales during the hot summer months, others remain in the community. Sun City Posse officials offer a number of tips to help homeowners enhance security at their homes. Toni Ashby, Block Watch co-coordinator, said the first safety measure is to keep all doors and windows locked. She said in the case of patio doors, residents can put a wooden or metal rod in the track for the sliding door to keep the door from being opened if the lock is compromised. There is also a peg lock available by drilling a hole through the frames of both metal doors where they intersect (but not through to the outside of the exterior portion of the frame) and inserting a peg.

Having hinges on the outside of your doors is also to be avoided, Ms. Ashby said. Those can be removed by people trying to get into the home.

Inserting two large screws into the door jam, sticking out about one inch and matching holes in the door when closed, would keep it from being removed even if the hinges were taken off, Ms. Ashby said.

Homeowners can also keep a heavy duty flashlight or a strobe light accessible. Light can scare away an intruder and a strobe will confuse them long enough for the resident to escape, Ms. Ashby said.

Another thing people can do is keep their car fob near them at all times and they can hit the panic button if there is an intruder, she explained. That noise will usually scare them off.

She also suggested keeping some lights on in the home, even when residents are asleep.

Ms. Ashby also suggested residents not open the door to anyone they do not know.

You can always ask for a telephone number so you can verify that person at your door is who they say they are, she said.

Block Watch

Sun City residents can also help improve the safety in their neighborhood by joining the Block Watch, coordinated by the Posse.

The more Block Watch signs we have out there the better, Ms. Ashby said.

Residents in the Dawn Lake area have more than 35 signs in their neighborhood, she added. While Block Watch numbers increased significantly earlier in the year, the rise has slowed to a trickle with winter visitors away during the summer.

Block Watch is a program designed for residents to look out for each other, according to Ms. Ashby.

It is not being nosy neighbors, its being helpful neighbors, she quoted her co-coordinator, Jean Schmidt, as saying during program presentations to residents, clubs and organizations.

Residents or groups that want to have a Block Watch presentation made can call the Posse at 623-972-2555. We want residents to pay attention to what belongs in their neighborhood so they can recognize when something doesnt belong, Ms. Ashby said.

She added residents are encouraged to leave a duplicate key to their home with a trusted neighbor, not just a relative in another state.

Magic City Brewing Co. the Barberton nanobrewery with a heavy metal bunny with piercing purple eyes as its logo quietly opened last weekend.

Putting money in the bank compared to spending it is excellent, founder and brewer Jay Graham said.

Graham and his wife, Erica, who both grew up in Barberton, launched the brewery in a small storefront at 161 Second St.

They debuted with five solid beers that have received positive reviews so far: Dilligaf IPA, 2nd Street Pale Ale, Mark It Zero American wheat, Dark Empress Imperial Chocolate Stout, and Hive Devil, a saison made with buckwheat honey and black pepper.

Graham, a big tattooed guy who enjoys heavy metal music, hopes to build up the portfolio to eight beers with several rotating brews.

Magic City employs a one-barrel brewing system.

This is just the starting point, Graham said.

Magic City, which carries the tagline Join us further down the rabbit hole, already has plans for a second brewery in the neighborhood dedicated strictly to producing sour beers. Graham also wants to upgrade to a three-barrel system and create an outdoor patio in the adjacent alley.

As for the building itself, the brewery entrance features recessed windows with display areas on both sides of the front door. Right now, those areas are empty but Graham is deciding how to fill the space.

Inside, Magic City features an L-shaped bar with lime-green chairs, plenty of wooden picnic tables and a tin ceiling. The small brewing system is in the back and out of sight from customers.

Its the 12th brewery to open in Summit County, with many more in the planning stages. Its also the first in Barberton, with a second one, Ignite Brewing Co., set to open nearby on West Tuscarawas Avenue.

Magic City will be open from 4 to 11 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and noon to 11 p.m. Saturday. It also will be open on Sundays at some point. For more details, click here.

Rogue traders will be warned against working in Ryton-on-Dunsmore with numerous signs and stickers handed out to residents.

Warwickshire County Councils Trading Standards, supported by Warwickshire Police, will be launching a no rogue trader zone in hotspots across the village.

Trading Standards officers will issue residents with no rogue trader door/window stickers and information booklets, following the theme of staying safe from cowboy traders.

Street signage will reinforce the message and act as a warning to rogue traders that they will be reported if they attempt to trade in the area.

Portfolio holder for community safety Cllr Howard Roberts said: Rogue traders are a menace, pressurising residents to have work carried out on their homes and gardens that is often unnecessary and always overpriced and poorly carried out.

No rogue trader zones have proved very successful in deterring rogue traders and bogus callers where they have been established across the county.

Im delighted that a no rogue trader zone is now being launched in Ryton-on-Dunsmore to help protect often very vulnerable and elderly residents from doorstep crime.

Trading Standards surveyed residents in the hotspot area. Most of the residents were aged 60 or over and almost three-quarters were at home for most of the day.

Of the residents who responded, 63 per cent said doorstep sellers were a nuisance in the area.

Two-thirds had had people knocking on their doors in the last year asking them to buy something or offering to do work for them.

Many of the residents reported doorstep callers had been persistent, aggressive, dishonest, intimidating, and intrusive.

One resident told the council officers, when she refused to open her front door, the rogue trader broke her gate to try to enter via patio doors.

Another cut down trees in a residents garden, despite being asked not to and stole ladders.

Rogue traders were also reported to have banged loudly on doors and not taken no for an answer.

PCSO Matt Havelock, of the Rugby rural central police safer neighbourhood team, added: Rogue traders call at your door and offer to do work on your home or garden that will be either unnecessary or vastly over-priced.

They have no formal training to carry out the work. Some have links with distraction burglars.

Dont ever go to a bank or cash point with the trader; legitimate traders would never do this and never allow anyone to pressure you into agreeing to have work carried out.

Do not open the door if you do not know the caller.

If you ask them to leave and they dont call 101 or 999 in an emergency.

If you do think your property needs some work, talk to a relative or friend who can help you find a reputable trader.

Never agree to any work or sign anything on the spot and if you are not sure, dont open the door.

Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to Trading Standards rapid response team via the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 03454 040506.

If you are thinking of creating more space & opening up your home to enjoy the back garden area, then installing uPVC Patio doors can make a great idea. Not only will they provide great access to the garden but they will let in loads of natural light and really make the whole room feel larger & look more spacious.

With recent major upgrades to the door tracks they are no longer heavy and difficult to open, moving quietly & easily on easy glide tracks. The tracks & frames are fitted with draught excluder brushes, so which means that once the patio doors are closed they are completely weather proof.

The Tilt & Turn versions of patio doors have the extra function of being able to open inwards fully like a normal doors and can also be fitted with a tilt/slide option. Both of these functions provide high levels of ventilation from the inward tilting of the window section without compromising fully on the security of your home

For safety & security, tilting of the glazed sections are restricted by a safety limiter; preventing the frame from moving inwards beyond a certain angle.
