About 18839 Raymond Road
Five acres, a stocked pond, a five-car garage with workshop and 25 minutes to Columbus. The house is a turn-of-the-century brick Victorian the sellers restored rather than covered over. What was original is still here. What needed replacing has been replaced. Original brick reset with period-accurate mortar over a fully tuckpointed fieldstone foundation. Walls run three bricks thick where two was standard for the era. Both porches rebuilt on their original rooflines with pressure-treated framing and added concrete piers, vinyl ceilings replaced with tongue-and-groove, painted on the east-facing front porch and stained on the screened porch above the pond. Inside, the original front door, hardware, transom windows, bedroom doors and dining room wainscoting and mantel remain. Framing is rough-sawn oak. Floors are original pine in the bedrooms, pecan on the landing and oak in the kitchen and first-floor bath. Two living rooms and a formal dining room, one with an original firebox and working propane fireplace. The 2020 kitchen kept its original cabinetry and added quartzite counters and backsplash. Appliances convey. Baths in 2020 and 2024 brought a fully tiled open shower, a restored period sink and a clawfoot tub. Laundry is on the second floor. The primary bedroom faces the sunrise. The first-floor den, once the parlor, has its own half bath and works as an office or guest room. Windows are replacements apart from the transoms, chimney capped 2024 and water heater 2026. Outside there is open lawn, mature trees, a stream and pond frontage, a brick paver patio with stone fire pit and seat wall and an electrified shed with lofts. Owner-cleared paths run the wooded back acreage past a sledding hill and mature maples, sweet gum and pin oak. The shared pond has an owner-built dock stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish for fishing, swimming and kayaking. Two miles from uptown Marysville, with Honda's Marysville and Raymond operations closer still.
