Hunters Ridge Subdivision of Gahanna

The Hunters Ridge Subdivision of Gahanna is one of the hottest real estate markets in Gahanna.  A heavy percentage of the homes sold in the last 3 months have sold in the first month in which they have been listed.  Hunters ridge is a unique area in that it is made up of over 900 homes.  Homes were built in two general phases.  The first phase was in the mid to late 1970's which began the growth of the Southeast part of Gahanna.  In this part of Hunters Ridge you'll primarily find traditional two-story homes with approximately 1800 - 2000 sq ft, and split-level homes with 3 or 4 bedrooms that offer upwards of 1600 sq ft.  The second phase began in the late 1980's and took off in the early 90's.  This part of the subdivision is characterized by large two-story homes that begin to show more modern elements such as larger master bathrooms, vaulted ceilings, and first floor laundry rooms.

House for Sale in Hunters Ridge: 900 Trifecta Ct

The newest house for sale in Hunters Ridge is a 4 bed, 2.5 bath home with over 2300 sq ft of living space.  Trifecta court is east of Helmbright drive and the home is located less than a quarter mile from Gahanna Middle School South.  The most unique feature of the home outside of the peaceful court setting, is the florida room.  The room used to be a screened-in porch area, but has been upgraded by the current owner and equipped with new windows to make it more of a living space.

900 Trifecta Ct.  Gahanna, Oh 43230

All four bedrooms are upstairs.  The master bath and hall bath both have flooring installed by the current owner.  The entry level contains a family room, dining room, living room, kitchen, eating space,  half bath, and a rec room.  The rec room is currently being used as an office, but could very easily adapt to any use (rec room is adjacent to the garage in the middle of the picture above).  The home contains an unfinished basement that has the potential to easily add significant square footage.

        

Click the link for more information about the Hunters Ridge subdivision, including the current activity in the area.  900 Trifecta Ct is in the newer section of Hunters Ridge that was constructed in the early 1990's.

Creekside Gahanna Area Homes

There are a number of subdivisions that define the Creekside Gahanna area.  I typically refer to this area as Gahanna Heights, but only because Gahanna Heights is the biggest groups of homes near Creekside.  This area in Downtown Gahanna is made up primarily of homes built prior to 1970 that range in price from the $140,000 range up to the low $200,000's.

You can find many styles of homes to buy near Creekside.  Split-levels are the most common, but cape cods, ranches, and two-story homes are plentiful.  Living in the Creekside area puts you right in the heart of Gahanna.  As far as location goes, you have easy access to 670, 270, Stoneridge, Easton, the Airport, and multiple schools.  Residents of Gahanna Heights can walk to restaurants in Creekside and the newest attractions that have been built along Hamilton Rd near Clark Hall.

Hunters Ridge Home For Sale: 339 Schyler Way

My newest listing in Gahanna is the newest Hunters Ridge home for sale:  339 Schyler Way.  The home is one of the most unique homes in Hunters Ridge.  The tax records will show 2901 sq ft of space, but this home has unaccounted for square footage that pushes is well over 3000 sq ft.  The previous owner added onto the original structure, and then the current owner added on again.  You will not believe the amount of space compared to your typical 4-level split.

Click here: Listing Details:  339 Schyler Way

There are 3 bedrooms in the upper level, all of which have been recently painted and finished with laminate hardwood flooring.  The 2 full baths, including the master, have also been renovated and updated to contain modern and desirable features.

The entry level is standard for the Hunters Ridge 4-level split, until you move through the dining room to the "loft" that  overlooks the backyard and moves down to a lower level that is a large, open, finished rec area.  Also featured off of the loft is a "hot tub room" that is very similar to a florida room that contains a hot tub that stays with the home.

      

There are many more rooms to describe, but a visit to the home for a private showing is really the only way to get a clear understanding of all that the home has to offer.  If you'd like for me to set that up, use my contact information below to let me know what time is good for you!

As always, if you know of anyone looking to buy or sell a home, the greatest compliment you could offer me is a referral.  I'd be happy to take care of your family and/ or friends as they get involved in this HOT real estate market!

Gahanna a Seller's Market?!

For anyone that has been following the housing market in Gahanna, you know that we show many characteristics of a "seller's market."  The inventory is low, homes are selling quickly, and multiple offer situations are not uncommon.

Just as Jay Papasan says in the video below put together by KWRI, it is important to get information quickly if you want to be active in the market.  I would guess that over half of the calls that I get about properties are in regards to a property that is listed on a website, but is already under contract.  This is because of the delay in syncing the local MLS with the big national websites.  I like to call this phenomenon "the leftovers."  Just like leftovers in the refrigerator from a nice, hot, fresh meal the night before in which everyone ate the food at the peak of its tastiness... homes that are available on these national websites aren't hot and fresh because the hot and fresh deals are picked through by the buyers that have already been alerted by their Realtor.

If you find yourself inching towards the time in which you are ready to buy, make sure you aren't looking at the leftovers.  Let me work for you to find the hot and fresh deals, it is necessary in today's market!
