This beautiful custom-built brick lake home situated on 2.8 acres (private land) on Tappan Lake in Franklin Township, Harrison County, Ohio. This home is a contemporary design which both blends-in and complements the surroundings in which it sits.  The home has 3000+ square feet of living space on the upper level plus an additional 1700 square feet of finished space in the walkout basement.  Total walkout basement space is 3000+ square feet.  In addition, porches, patios, and decks give this home another 1550 square feet of usable outdoor living area.  Upon entering into the front tiled foyer, you are greeted with a huge great room featuring a blown out prow with glass windows and doors on walls of knotty pine reaching from the floor to the near twenty foot ceiling peak. This great room opens out to both a 330 square foot screened-in covered porch and a 650 square foot deck spanning the entire rear of the house which overlooks Tappan Lake.  The great room also features a stone fireplace and a beautiful wood staircase leading to a 26’ x 12’ loft with triangular windows which look out to wonderful views of the nearby mountains.  The loft is large enough to be used for an additional fifth bedroom.  Both the great room and foyer open into a large country kitchen and dining area featuring an island with Jenn-Air down-draft cooktop, an oversize stainless double sink, an under counter dishwasher, an eat-in counter, and plenty of cabinet space.  The kitchen is accented with solid cherry cabinets and pantry, tile floors, beam and knotty pine ceilings, decorative tile backsplashes, and top model GE and Frigidaire Gallery appliances.  There are three large guest bedrooms (each 12’ x 15’) on the entry level on the west side of the home along with a full bathroom.  The master bedroom is 17’6” x 13’9” and is located on the east side of the home.  It opens to the rear deck and is adjoined by a large full bathroom and walk-in closet.  All upper-level closet interiors are finished in cedar.   The lower walkout level features a large game room finished with knotty pine walls containing a second stone fireplace, two office areas, a full bathroom, and a bar room with a log bar and a draft beer system.  This area leads out to a large patio residing beneath the deck.  The unfinished area of the lower level contains the laundry room, utility room, and furnace room.  To complete the home, an extra large (nearly 1500 square feet) detached finished 4-car brick garage is nearby to the home.  This garage is insulated, partially heated, and is great for any handyman or storage.  There is also a large 30’x80’ garden area in addition to fruit trees and wild berries on the land.About the Tappan Highlands Subdivision… all lots (26 total) are 2+ acres with most being 5 acres or more.  We are located on Tappan Lake, a 2300 acre lake managed by the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD).  We are approximately 7 miles from the nearest town, and about 35 miles south of Canton Ohio, or about 80 miles west of Pittsburgh, PA.  We have a homeowner’s association that maintains our large private floating docks in a cove adjacent to the subdivision – all homeowners have access to at least two slips.  From our home, it is a short walk along a path following the water's edge to the dock area – there is also vehicle access to the dock area.
