225 Green Valley Dr Howard, OH 43028

Whether this becomes your everyday address or your weekend escape, this 2023 Wayne Homes build is ready for you. Tucked into one of the area's most sought-after lake communities, it offers the kind of easy, main-floor living that works just as well for full-time comfort as it does for a low-maintenance retreat -- with room upstairs for family, guests, or friends whenever they come to visit.

Inside, the chef-inspired kitchen is as much about hosting as it is about cooking - a custom stone backsplash and statement hood set the tone the moment you walk in, whether you're pouring coffee for two or wine for ten. The stone fireplace anchors the living space, the kind of feature that makes a house feel instantly like a retreat rather than a residence.

The main-floor primary suite keeps things simple - no stairs to think about, just a spa-like ensuite bath and quiet, wooded views to wake up to. Upstairs, a loft and two more bedrooms mean there's always room for the people you want to share this place with, whether that's family for a week or friends for a weekend.

Then there's the outdoor living -- two decks for lazy mornings and golden-hour dinners, plus a fire pit that turns any night into something worth remembering. It's a private, wooded setting that feels worlds away, even though it's just minutes from everything: Davis Beach, Apple Valley Golf Club, Floral Valley, the Marina, and the Community Clubhouse and pool. If you're already dreaming bigger, the lot offers room to grade and add a garage down the line.

This isn't a home that comes with a to-do list. It's one that comes with a standing invitation - to slow down, unplug, and make this lake community your home away from home.
