A ranch-style home in the US has a basement set-up that could prove triggering for some.

From the outside, the four-bedroom property in Kirtland Chardon Rd, Ohio, looks like a lovely family home. 

A neat, landscaped garden frames the horseshoe driveway, and the wrap-around verandah appears to be the perfect aspect to enjoy the property’s ample outdoor space. 

The Ohio property is selling for US$749,900 ($1.18 million).

Even stepping inside the home, nothing immediately stands out as that unusual. 

There’s a cosy loungeroom that leads to an open kitchen dining area. 

Nearby is a spacious sitting room with a statement exposed brick fireplace.

The four-bedroom family home has a spacious opening dining and kitchen.

The kitchen is homely. The timber cabinetry is dated, but nothing a refresh wouldn’t fix.

All four bedrooms are on the entry level. They appear tidy and spacious. In fact, the master bedroom is so large it has its own lounge setting. 

As well as large bedrooms, the home has an abundance of cupboards and storage spaces.

Then there’s the basement.

The conference room space.

The listing describes the set-up as “perfect for running a home business”. 

It’s not wrong. There’s no difficult commutes here. 

A short walk down a set of stairs transforms the family home into an office.

There’s a conference room, desks with partitions and even a paper towel dispenser in the half bathroom. Overhead, the ceiling is fitted with fluorescent panel lighting. 

David Brent would be a fan of the lighting and partitions.

The home was owned for 38 years by a master electrician, seemingly that means everything is to code.

If the office space wasn’t just for someone’s business, it could be used as a film set.

David Brent would surely be comfortable here as could a Lumon Industries Innie.

The property is being sold through Howard Hanna Real Estate Services and has an asking price of US$749,900 ($1.18 million).
