If you are pining for a country home, then the house at 196 Pine Hills Lane in Jackson may be the perfect home for you. It's a simple country ranch-style home on three acres with some nice features. An open house is being held there today from 1 to 3 p.m.

The burgundy shutters and entrance door contrast nicely with its gray vinyl siding, but the leaded and beveled oval glass in the door gives it a splash of personality. The large front porch with its white pillars and white vinyl porch rail invite guests to take the time to enjoy the country view. The oversized two-car garage offers a practical element.

Inside, the foyer area has handsome oak hardwood flooring, with the living room offering the softer Berber carpeting in light beige tones. An oak-encased gas log fireplace is the focal point of the room.

The kitchen has a brick patterned linoleum floor in brown tones. Modern appliances include a white side by side refrigerator, black range with a built-in black microwave above, and a double kitchen sink with a long rectangular window above it, perfect for admiring the bright blue sky outside. A gray ceramic tile backsplash offers an easy-to-clean surface, all against the warm background of oak cabinetry. A breakfast/snack counter segues perfectly into the informal dining area.

The dining area has wood parquet flooring and a modern glass-and-brass pendulum light fixture as its centerpiece. A sliding French-style door opens to the roomy redwood deck, which overlooks the sprawling back yard and above-ground pool and large pond.

Hardwood floors stretch ahead in the hallway with a deep coat closet nearby.
