Why we love it...
01
Why We Love It
Out the Back Gate
The fence is where your responsibility ends, not where the view does. You own a fifth of an acre, but you look at seventeen, and the city takes care of the part you don’t own. Open the gate and you’re on the paved path, at the hoop, at the picnic shelter, without ever getting in the car or standing at a curb. Pretty much every other house in this price range looks into somebody else’s kitchen.
02
Why We Love It
One Ceiling Over Everything
The ceiling is the reason 1,376 square feet doesn’t feel like 1,376 square feet. It starts climbing at the front door and doesn’t stop, running unbroken over the great room, the dining area and the kitchen, so there’s no seam where one room becomes the next. Stand at the sink and you can see the front windows, the couch, the TV and the dining table without turning your head. It’s the thing guests comment on, and the sellers say so themselves.
03
Why We Love It
One Floor, No Exceptions
Everything you need on a normal day is on the floor you walk in on. Three bedrooms, both full baths, and a laundry room parked between the kitchen and the garage, so the groceries come in one door and the wash goes through the other. The only stairs in the house go down to the lower level, and using them is optional.
04
Why We Love It
Pick a Deck
Three doors in this house open onto somewhere you’d actually sit. The front one goes to a stone porch with two chairs and a garden bed, which is the spot for watching the street. The laundry room door goes to a small red deck with a table and an umbrella, and that’s where the grill lives, ten feet from the kitchen. The third is a slider in the middle bedroom, and it puts you on the big deck with nothing but field in front of you.
05
Why We Love It
Downstairs Does the Work
The square footage on this listing says 1,376. The house can be bigger than that. The lower level runs the full length of the floor above it, carpeted, with painted block walls and open joists overhead, and right now it’s holding a treadmill and a weight bench at one end, a keyboard and four guitars on the wall, a dollhouse and a bin of picture books.

Listing Description
From the MLS
Take your coffee out to the back deck and there's nobody there. No rear neighbor, no windows looking back at you, no buildings at all. What is out there is seventeen acres of open field with one big tree in the middle of it, a walking path, and a gate to the park if you feel like a stroll. All of it belongs to the city, so the sellers can take everything they own, but "The View Stays."
Out front, a stone porch with room for two chairs, a garden bed and a white picket fence. Open the door and the ceiling climbs and keeps climbing. One vault runs over the great room, the dining area and the kitchen, so 1,376 square feet lives a lot larger than it reads on paper. New luxury vinyl tile and fresh trim went in across the main floor in 2022, and every window was replaced in 2019.
The kitchen works off a peninsula bar with oak cabinetry and a tile backsplash. Stand at the sink and you still see the whole great room. The dining area sits under its own chandelier.
All three bedrooms and both full baths are on this one floor. So is the laundry, a real room off the kitchen with cabinets, a door to the garage and another out to a small red deck. That deck is where the grill has always lived. The middle bedroom opens through a slider onto the big deck, rebuilt in 2019 and facing the park.
Downstairs, the lower level runs the full length of the house. Right now it's a gym, a music room and a play space. It isn't completely finished, so it isn't counted in the square footage, which is rather the point.
The two-car garage is drywalled, painted and taller than you'd expect. The back yard is fully fenced, and between the porch, the grill deck and the big deck there are three separate places to sit outside on a fifth of an acre. Air conditioner 2020, garage door opener 2025, sump pump this year. Things got fixed as they came up. And whatever the next owner changes inside, the seventeen acres out back are not theirs to change.
Answers
Common Questions
The things you’d notice first have already been handled. Every window in the house was replaced in 2019, the back deck was rebuilt the same year and has been stained since, and new luxury vinyl tile went down across the whole main floor in 2022 along with fresh trim. The air conditioning condenser was replaced in 2020, the garage door opener in 2025, and the sump pump this year. On the appliance side, the refrigerator dates to 2019 and the dishwasher and microwave to 2021.
What that adds up to is a home where the visible, expensive, day-to-day stuff is already done. The floors you walk on, the windows you look through, and the deck you sit on are all recent. Nothing here is waiting on you before you can move in.

The current owners report the following: electric through AEP runs $200 to $260 a month depending on the season, gas through Columbia Gas runs about $90 to $100 a month, water and sewer through the City of Columbus is billed quarterly at roughly $300, and internet through Spectrum is about $100 a month. There is no HOA fee on top of that, and no monthly trash bill separate from the city.
Worth knowing: Spectrum cable service is what’s active at the house, with speeds up to 1 Gig available. AT&T Fiber is marketed in parts of Galloway but is not the service in place here, so anyone who needs fiber specifically should confirm availability at this address directly with the provider.
These are averages based on the usage and preferences of these current homeowners. Your costs may vary.

This address is in the South-Western City School District, the fifth largest district in Ohio. The assigned path runs Darby Woods Elementary, then Galloway Ridge Intermediate for fifth and sixth grade, then Norton Middle School, then Westland High School.
The intermediate school is worth explaining if you’re new to the district, because South-Western splits the middle years differently than most. Fifth and sixth graders go to a dedicated intermediate building, in this case Galloway Ridge on Galloway Road, and then move on to a separate middle school for seventh and eighth. So the run from kindergarten through graduation goes through four buildings rather than three.
Attendance boundaries are set by the district and can change, and the Franklin County Auditor is the final authority on which district a property sits in. Confirm your assignment directly with South-Western City Schools before making a decision based on it.

We’re based in Grove City and Galloway is one of the areas we work regularly, which means we know what a house at this price should look like when you walk in, what’s sold nearby and what it actually closed for, and which questions to ask about a 1988 build before you’re under contract. Buying your first home or your last one isn’t a transaction you want run by someone learning the area on your dime.

Greene Countrie Park shares a fence line with this property. It’s a 17.076-acre neighborhood park run by Columbus Recreation and Parks, with a playground, a basketball court, an open-air shelter, picnic tables, and a paved walking path. There’s a gate in the back fence, so getting there means walking out of the yard rather than driving anywhere or crossing a street. The park’s main entrance is over on Branding Iron Drive, but this lot sits on the back side of it.
The bigger one is Battelle Darby Creek Metro Park, roughly ten minutes away, at more than 7,000 acres. That’s bison, canoe access, miles of trails, and a nature center.
The practical difference between the two is how often you use them. Battelle Darby is a Saturday. Greene Countrie is a Tuesday evening after dinner, and because it’s city parkland, nothing about that view is going to change.

Yes, and it’s worth being precise about what it is. The lower level runs the full length of the house and is finished enough to use but not finished in the formal sense. The floor is carpeted and the block walls are painted, but the joists and ductwork are open overhead. The current owners use it as a gym, a music space, and a play area, all at the same time, which tells you how much room is down there.
One thing worth knowing: it isn’t counted in the home’s 1,376 square feet, because unfinished space never is. The usable space in this house is meaningfully larger than the number on the listing.
If you wanted to finish it someday, the bones are there and the walls are already reinforced. If you don’t, it works fine exactly as it sits.
