For 130 years our home has stood in the quiet valley in the village of Reform (Cooksey). Over those years many changes and additions were made. Originally a private school and residence, our home was transformed into a single family home. Once our family purchased the house, we set about returning the charm and modernizing the home for a modern family. Today, it is 3,911 square feet under roof including a 483 square foot walk-out basement. The basement is accessible from the main level and would be perfect for a workshop. The basement’s exterior door leads right to the driveway, offering easy access for loading and unloading. With our renovations complete, the home now was 4 full bedrooms, one a main level master, and 3 full baths. The furnace and air conditioning systems were both replaced with modern units. The air conditioner for the upstairs level is separate from the downstairs for efficiency. All of the rooms are spacious and take advantage of large windows and natural light. All of the main interior lights are controlled by slim dimmer switches. This not only saves electricity, it also allows for setting the lights to the appropriate level for comfort. Also, custom crown molding and wainscoting can be found throughout the home in addition to granite counter tops in the kitchen. There are two separate office spaces located on the main level. Both are separate rooms with the westernmost office connecting to the pool area. This room could be used as a changing room for the pool since it is so convenient. An important aspect of our home is that all of the mechanicals are new as of 2007. The remodel stripped the home back to the studs so the windows, doors, electrical, floors, walls, and pool mechanics have all been replaced. Another important fact about our home is the fact it comes with FREE natural gas for heating. Your annual heating bill will be nothing at all. The natural gas comes from a near by oil well. Not only does the free gas heat the house, it also heats the large in-ground pool. A huge savings. The oil well is owned by us and is not currently included with the home. However, it could be included. The well provides a nice annual income for the home. Details about including the well will be discussed on a case-by-case basis as not everyone will be interested in it. The in ground swimming pool is 20' by 40' and is 9 feet deep. The deep end of the pool even includes a diving board. As we mentioned above the pool is heated and the pool mechanicals are all new. The pool pump motor was replaced with a new unit this year. The area around the pool has a large cement patio which connects to the house via French doors and behind the house as well. Our home also comes with a very large period barn. The barn was constructed around the time of Cooksey Private School in the 1880s. It has a stone base and is constructed out of sturdy white oak. The adjacent pasture is encircled by a new and very sturdy electrified fence and new gates. Perfect for horses or cattle. A watering and feeding area is a short walk from the house for convenience. The lot includes 10 acres and free gas. We own the surrounding 60 acres of additional land and oil well so negotiating a larger lot and the inclusion of the oil well will be considered. There is adjoining land available with road frontage on Mary Ann Furnace Rd. If you’re interested in owning a piece of historic Licking County please contact us for a showing today.
