5 acres in Union County, OH

A turn-of-the-century brick Victorian where the sellers' work brought the character back rather than covering it over. What was original is still here. What needed replacing has been replaced. The masonry: original brick reset with period-accurate mortar over a fully tuckpointed fieldstone foundation. Walls run three bricks thick, where two was standard for the era. Both porches rebuilt with original rooflines restored, pressure-treated framing and added concrete piers. Vinyl ceilings gave way to tongue-and-groove, painted on the east-facing covered front porch and stained on the screened porch above the pond. Inside, the original front door, hardware, transom windows, bedroom doors and dining room wainscoting and mantel remain. Framing is rough-sawn oak; floors original pine in the bedrooms, pecan on the landing, oak in the kitchen and 1st-floor bath. Two living rooms and a formal dining room; one holds an original firebox with a working propane fireplace. The 2020 kitchen kept its original cabinetry with quartzite counters and backsplash; appliances convey. Baths, 2020 and 2024: fully tiled open shower, restored period sink and clawfoot tub. 2nd-floor laundry. Primary bedroom faces east to the sunrise. The 1st-floor den, once the parlor, has its own half bath and works as an office or guest room. Windows are replacements apart from the transoms; chimney capped 2024, water heater 2026. Outside, five acres of country. Open lawn, mature trees, a stream and pond frontage. A brick paver patio with stone fire pit and seat wall, a 5-car detached garage with workshop and an electrified shed with lofts. Owner-cleared paths wind the wooded back acreage past a sledding hill and mature maples, sweet gum and pin oak. Beyond, a shared pond with owner-built dock, stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish; fishing, swimming and kayaking. Two miles from uptown Marysville, with US 33 reaching Columbus in about 25 minutes and Honda's Marysville and Raymond operations closer still.
