Property Description

Some homes are simply houses. Others make you slow down the moment you pull onto the street. Beneath the shade of mature trees on one of Midtown's most cherished avenues, this 1928 brick home welcomes you with timeless character, generous living space, and a location that's hard to beat. Just a short stroll from Lakebottom Park, you'll have easy access to walking trails, green space, playgrounds, and many of Columbus's favorite community events. Inside, original hardwood floors span the main level, showcasing the craftsmanship and charm that make historic homes so special. The flexible floor plan offers four bedrooms and two full baths downstairs, while the finished upper level includes a spacious bonus room and full bath that can serve as a guest suite, media room, home office, or private retreat. Modern updates complement the home's historic appeal, including a brand-new downstairs HVAC system for added comfort and efficiency. The home is also equipped with fully paid-for solar panels—with no lease and no loan to assume—helping reduce monthly power costs while adding long-term value. Natural light fills the inviting sunroom, creating the perfect place to unwind, while the formal living and dining rooms provide beautiful spaces for everyday living and entertaining. A custom mural by acclaimed local artist Jo Farris adds a unique touch, and thoughtful extras such as abundant storage, a spacious laundry and utility room, a professional pool table, and a private sauna make this home as functional as it is distinctive. Step outside to enjoy a beautifully landscaped backyard featuring mature plantings, blueberry bushes, a peaceful koi pond, an outbuilding with power, and a two-car garage with convenient alley access. Blending historic architecture with meaningful updates and modern conveniences, this exceptional Midtown home offers the charm of yesterday with the comfort and efficiency buyers are looking for today.
