Look inside: Timeless $2.6 million New Albany estate for sale
NEW ALBANY, Ohio (WCMH) -- A brick estate in the original section of the New Albany Country Club neighborhood is on the market, complete with a vista-like backyard and golf course-facing views.
The 7,779-square-foot home is listed at $2,590,000 and includes a sprawling lawn over two-thirds of an acre. The home at 4615 Yantis Drive offers six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, complete with a home gym, media room and private pool.
The wooden front door sits across fanning front steps and opens into a grand foyer with towering ceilings. Opposing staircases merge into an indoor balcony overlooking the foyer and expansive first floor.
It would be hard to have too many cooks in this kitchen, with its spacious island, two sinks, butler's pantry and plentiful cabinet space. Also on the first floor is a quaint dining area next to a sweeping arched window with French door blinds. A large open floor plan also includes a living space and one of the home's several fireplaces.
Street Sotheby's International Realty agent Jamie Curtis is the real estate agent working on the home, and she said called the first-floor primary suite a "true sanctuary." The room has a fireplace, chandelier dangling from an arched ceiling, walk-in closets and attached bathroom, complete with an expansive tub, shower and multiple vanities.
A spacious home office boasts a third fireplace encased in emerald marble. The room is characterized by black wooden details and French doors to both the rest of the first floor and to the backyard. Also featured on the first floor are a den and dining room.
Up the sweeping staircases sit three more bedroom suites. Two of the large bedrooms have walk-in closets and en suite bathrooms, and the third is a two-bedroom suite with a full bath. Downstairs, a furnished basement includes a projector and nearly wall-sized screen to enjoy media, lit by spotlights and chandeliers. The basement also offers a home gym and full bath.
Outside, a lengthy private pool is adjoined to a hot tub by a small waterfall, framed by trees and classic landscaping. Crisscrossing brick patios complement the brick exterior of the home, with plenty of space to sit in the sun or shade. An elevated covered patio is supported by white columns, keeping residents comfortable outside no matter the weather with lighting, a ceiling fan and the fourth fireplace.
Next to the pool is the home's large four-car garage, which has an unfinished, 1000-square-foot second story with a private staircase. Curtis also celebrated the location, which is surrounded by leisure paths and the 27-hole golf course. She said she can personally vouch for the neighborhood, as she lives nearby.
"In our neighborhood, it wouldn’t be possible to build a property of this square footage with these features for under $4,000,000," Curtis said. "The opportunity and lot size just doesn’t exist here, and the cost to build new has surged in recent years. A discerning buyer has a rare opportunity to make this into their dream home and realize long-term appreciation."
