This very traditional house in the Cincinnati area was listed this summer by owner Andy Dalton, who recently signed a one-year, $7 million contract with the Cowboys.

Consequently, up goes this slice of idealized fin-de-siècle heartland Americana—complete with covered porch for sipping iced tea and waiting for the Wells Fargo Wagon a-comin’ down the street—for $2.5 million. The house contains five bedrooms and five baths in its 5,654 square feet of living space.

Highlights of this home include a thoroughly contemporary kitchen with a counter-to-ceiling herringbone-pattern tile backsplash—a nice reprise of the floor in the foyer—custom cabinetry, and floating plank shelves; the master boasts a barn door between bedroom and closet, as well as a bath with a shower boasting glass pane walls.

In the basement, an old-fashioned rumpus room with a wet bar looks just the thing for weekend relaxation. A guest suite with a kitchen and a large, covered outdoor living space with a fireplace are other features of this fine property.
