Oak Glory: Jackson home filled with oak accents and natural light

Set on three acres, this three-bedroom vinyl-and-brick ranch with split bedroom floorplan offers picturesque countryside views from all angles.

The front facade combines brick and vinyl for a pleasing appearance. Recovered from an old St. Louis brick yard, the brick is of coordinating shades. A beveled design in the oak door at the entryway is mirrored above with an arched, beveled window. The beveled glass between the kitchen and living room add subtle flair.

Three-and-a-half bathrooms and a finished walk out basement with unfinished areas allow potential homeowners room to grow.

Additional acreage is available.

Nine- and 10-foot ceilings add elegance throughout the home. Oak crown molding in many rooms frame neutral wall shades, providing a finishing touch.

The 16-by-24-foot living room has a gas fireplace, friese carpeting and two windows that flank the entryway. Ceramic tile at the hearth is laid on the diagonal. The walls have a faux finish.

Custom cabinets are featured in the kitchen. A mantle above the flat cooktop creates a perfect display area. An island and countertops are granite tile. The island seats four and has a dishwasher, double sink and roomy drawers for pots and pans. A pantry within the kitchen is opposite the island. A utility room, bonus room, two-car garage and backyard are accessed from the kitchen. The kitchen floor is laminate.

A half bath is off the kitchen.

The bonus room above the garage has an arched, paned window offering plenty of light for a variety of uses, including an office, library, craft room or loft area.

The dining room with double hung bay windows faces the front of the home. Its turret-shaped design enhances the interior and exterior and adds dimension.

The front facing 12-by-14-foot bedroom connects to another same-sized bedroom through a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.

Separate from the two other bedrooms, the master bedroom connects to the deck and has its own bathroom with walk-in closet and oval whirlpool tub with decorative tile encased in oak cabinetry. A large, paned window above the tub brightens the room with natural lighting. A seat in the shower, opposite the tub, is handy.

The lower level has patio doors that open to the backyard at the rear of the 24-by-30-foot family room. Flooring in the family room is acid-stained concrete in an appealing shade that coordinates with the black oak bar. Plenty of seating, counterspace and cabinets are available at the bar.

The 16-by-23-foot rec room on this level is suitable as a guest, exercise or playroom. A double closet in this room offers storage.

A storage room and adjoining storm cellar complete the lower level. Potential homeowners can add their own personal stamp or fill the rooms with personal belongings.
