About the property

Ranch-Style 4-Bed Home with Full Basement on 0.206 Acre

3240 Sundale Road is a single-story ranch built in 1971, offering 1,288 square feet of living area on a level 0.206-acre (8,973 sqft) lot in Madison Township, Columbus. The property includes four bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, a full basement and a one-car attached garage. A large backyard and standard residential frontage on Sundale Road characterize the parcel; the lot and home present a straightforward ownership profile with an owner-occupied record dating to a 1987 purchase.

The home's mechanical and structural systems are documented as central air conditioning and forced-air gas heating, with wood-frame construction and an asphalt shingle roof. Condition is listed as average; because the house was built in 1971, standard inspections are recommended — the audit flags foundation, plumbing, electrical systems and roof condition as priority verifications. The full basement creates storage or finishing potential, while the single-story layout and attached garage reflect traditional ranch-era planning.

Location is a defining feature: the property sits within walking distance of Dunloe Elementary (about 0.1 miles) and a short drive to Groveport Madison Middle School North (about 0.4 miles). Three Creeks Metro Park is approximately 1.5 miles away, and Eastland Mall lies roughly 3 miles from the home. Surrounding uses are primarily residential, and the site benefits from municipal water and sewer, Columbia Gas service, and AEP Ohio electric service. The property falls in the Groveport Madison Local School District; school information in the record notes average district ratings.

Market context and valuation data are drawn from nearby comparable sales and local market metrics. A sales-comparison approach produced an estimated value range of $200,000–$220,000 with a midpoint of $210,000 (about $163/sqft). County assessed value is recorded at $170,000 (2026 assessment), with annual property taxes of $2,945 (tax year 2024). Recent nearby sales and rental comps also inform local pricing and rental demand: a local rental estimate is $1,500/month (roughly $1.17/sqft), yielding a reported gross rental yield near 8.6%. Local market indicators note limited inventory, a roughly 2.5-month supply, and average days on market near 48 days.

Key next steps for due diligence listed in the audit include confirming lot dimensions and boundaries, verifying renovation permits (if any), confirming zoning restrictions, and completing a professional home inspection and roof assessment. These verifications will clarify maintenance needs and any permitted improvements before purchase or investment actions.
