1003 Cross Country Drive

Wake up to the sound of a creek, fall asleep under a canopy of mature trees. This one-of-a-kind home offers the rare combination of peaceful, wooded retreat & space a growing family truly needs, all within a most sought-after school district. Step inside & you'll immediately feel the difference. The dramatic great room stuns with soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, a cozy fireplace, and walls of windows that frame the lush backyard like living art. It's the kind of space where family movie nights, holiday gatherings, and lazy Sunday mornings all feel at home. The kitchen is the heart of daily life here -- an open layout with a center island, bar seating, stainless steel appliances including a new dishwasher, and a natural flow into the dining and living areas that keeps everyone connected. Multiple living spaces on the main level give kids room to spread out while parents carve out their own corners. A freshly painted interior, new roof in 2023, new garbage disposal, and exterior paint scheduled for completion prior to closing mean the big-ticket items are already handled -- just move in and enjoy. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms offer hardwood floors, natural light, and room to grow. Rich hardwood flooring runs throughout much of the home, adding warmth and character at every turn. The full basement adds even more flexibility -- think playroom, teen hangout, home gym, or hobby space -- the possibilities are wide open. But the true magic is outside. A three-season sunroom overlooks the wooded backyard, creating a sanctuary for morning coffee or evening wind-downs. Step outside from the walk-out basement and follow the path down the hill, and you'll find your own private creek -- a backyard adventure for kids and a daily escape for everyone else. Top-rated Worthington Schools with the added benefit of Columbus tax rates -- a combination that's increasingly hard to find. A backyard unlike any other!
