ONE-FLOOR LIVING ON 3 ACRES — WITH A WORKSHOP THAT SETS IT APART

Some properties are easy to describe. This one takes a little more explaining.

At 79 Gearhart Road, you get the comfort and convenience of a beautifully maintained brick ranch with 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and one-floor living, set among mature trees, established landscaping and an orchard on 3 acres.

Inside, the remodeled kitchen features Amish-made rollout cabinetry, granite countertops and a center island. The full basement adds a finished family room and shower/bath, while the oversized attached 2-car garage provides everyday convenience.

And then there's the approximately 48' Ă— 56' detached heated garage/workshop.

It's the kind of space that can mean something different to every owner — a serious workshop, hobby space, vehicle storage, project area or a place to keep the things that simply don't belong in the house. It has water, a vehicle lift and a beam/trolley system, making it an especially versatile part of the property.

Recent improvements include a new central air system in 2024, a roof approximately 5 years old, carpet approximately 4 years old and interior paint approximately 3 years ago.

The property also includes oil, gas and mineral rights.

79 Gearhart Road | $449,900

If you've been looking for a home that offers comfortable one-floor living, room to enjoy the outdoors, and a truly distinctive workshop/garage setup, this one deserves a closer look.

A Busy Few Weeks Behind the Scenes

I’ve been a little quiet on Facebook lately — mostly because we’ve been busy working with clients.

It’s been a productive stretch, with several residential closings completed, two additional residential listings under contract and moving toward closing, and two commercial properties recently leased.

I’m especially grateful to the clients who trusted me to help get their properties sold or leased. Those decisions are important, and I truly appreciate the confidence they place in me throughout the process.

Real estate is never just about the property. There’s always a person, a plan, and a reason behind the move. Whether it’s a homeowner making a change or a business owner looking for the right space, I’m grateful to be part of it.

So while I may not have been posting about everything happening behind the scenes, we’ve definitely been busy.

If you’re considering buying, selling, or leasing — residential or commercial — I’m always happy to have a conversation.

Thank you to all of my clients for your trust. It means a great deal to me.

Finally, winter is loosening its' grip a bit and with that is Spring which is starting to bring more activity in the local real estate market.

Right now, I’m working with a mix of properties — homes, land, commercial buildings, and some commercial space for lease. Every situation is a little different, and that’s part of what makes this work interesting.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or exploring options for a property you own, I’m always happy to talk things through. Enjoy your day.

It’s so nice to see so many new businesses locating in Mercer in the last year. We stopped by the most recent opening yesterday to check out Violet’s Gifts & Curiosities located at 243 W. Butler St.
We enjoyed seeing the vast collection of varied items to choose from and pick up some coffee K-cups. To me, it was like going home again!
