Description
Timeless elegance awaits you in this spacious, Classic Historic Charmer in Olde Towne East.
Rich in character, the home showcases original, unpainted woodwork throughout all three levels–preserving its classic charm while offering thoughtful modern updates.
With five decorative fireplaces, three chimneys, and two staircases, this home exudes period appeal. The refinished third floor (2016) offers incredible versatility, featuring a full bathroom with heated floors, walk-in shower, kitchenette, and a separate electrical panel –perfect for a guest suite or primary bedroom suite.
The main level includes a bright, refreshed kitchen and freshly painted walls, blending historic detail with everyday functionality. Recent mechanical updates provide peace of mind, including a new HVAC system (2023), new water line to the house (2025), and an upgraded electric panel. Most triple-pane windows were replaced in 2018 for enhanced energy efficiency and comfort. The roof was replaced in 2009, and the leased water heater adds affordable utility convenience.
Additional Highlights:
– Second-floor laundry with washer and dryer (convey with the home)
– Private second-floor balcony for morning coffee or evening breezes
– Spacious linen closet for added storage
– Exterior basement entry (Dorothy door)
– Detached two-car garage
Located in a vibrant, close-knit community with an active neighborhood association , residents enjoy annual events such as a home tour, community yard sale, Music in the Garden, and holiday festivities. Just around the corner are hip restaurants and shops, a small community theatre, the brand-new Fran Ryan Recreation Center, community gardens, and quick freeway access. The heart of Downtown Columbus is just one mile away.
This one-of-a-kind home is full of history, space, and potential–ready to be loved by its next owner.
The water heater is leased.
