About this House

Views, views, views! Mt. Adams historic charm meets tastefully renovated modernity in this glamorous 19th century open concept, 3-story home. Enjoy your morning coffee in a chic, modern kitchen, with an oversized white marble island countertop, overlooking the sunbathed City skyline. Relax on the two new (July 2023) large west-facing Trex decks (totaling 550 square feet!) which are enclosed by sleek, modern glass and silver metal railings, with modern patio furniture included, and opening up to breathtaking, unobstructed, panoramic views of the City!

Boasting 3 large bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, 3 of which are en suite, this spacious home features a stunning gourmet kitchen with open-plan dining room, complete with a full wall of City-view windows, and two living rooms with fireplaces, one of which features a remote-controllable gas fire. Large walk-in master bedroom closet, and ample storage throughout.

Located in the heart of vibrant, upscale Mt. Adams, the house has a prime location, adjacent to Eden Park, a few steps away from the Art Museum, the Playhouse, and all the wonderful bars and restaurants that make Mt. Adams a Cincy destination. Ida Street remains the most prestigious street in Mt. Adams, known for its unmatched City views and proximity to all the lively fun that Mt. Adams has to offer, but Ida Street also maintains uninterrupted quietness and provides a tranquil retreat from the vibrancy swirling around the main strip at the top of the hill. It's an easy walk to neighborhood restaurants, shops, and such famous bars as the Blind Lemon and the Mt. Adams Bar and Grill.

There is ample street parking (usually right in front of the house), and there is also a free parking lot at the end of the street, three doors away.

In this home oasis, the sun rises in the front living room, letting in the most beautiful morning light, and then the sun sets in the kitchen, dining room, master bedroom, and on both decks. Ideal for throwing dinner parties, or just relaxing with a cocktail, watching the sunset at the end of a hard day's work.

The many modernizations of the house include a digital touchscreen Schlage Encode Plus front door lock, two smartphone-controllable NEST Learning thermostats (which independently manage the heat and AC on the top two floors, for efficiency), an upstairs front-loading washer/dryer and laundry room, a motorized drawer-style microwave, a wine refrigerator, and a renter-controlled Ring Doorbell, for peace of mind. Many of the elegant and unusual light fixtures throughout the house have smart switches that look and work like regular, manual dimmer switches, but which can also be controlled via smartphone, or with voice commands to Alexa or Google Assistant. This home is available for rent either fully furnished or unfurnished, offering flexible living options to suit your needs.

Garden maintenance is included. Pets welcome! (Sorry, no dangerous breeds.) The back lawn is fenced in to accommodate your lucky furry friends. The home is currently fully furnished, but the owners are open to the possibility of renting the home unfurnished. Lease term 12 months.

The house is named TARDIS by its British owners, after the Police-Box space-time travel machine in the famous British TV show "Doctor Who", because the house is much larger on the inside than it seems physically possible looking at it from the outside. Visit the TARDIS, and you will see for yourself!

    "Great neighborhood for kids: safe, walkable, friendly neighbors, neighborhood events (outdoor movies, concerts, holidays) and easy access to great resources for kids (pool, museum, downtown). Increasing number of young families committed to raising their kids on the Hill, PLUS you can live adjacent to downtown, reducing your commute, maximizing your time at home."

    "Mt. Adams is a Cincinnati gem - great for families, singles, and empty nesters alike. This neighborhood is an artistic hub for the city - boasting both the Art Museum and the Playhouse (both embarking on major updates), as well as one of the city’s finest parks and the Krohn Conservatory. Charming streets, amazing views and one of the lowest crime rates in the city make Mt. Adams a truly special place to live. Not least of all is the convenience for work and play: downtown, The Banks and OTR are a 20 minute walk or a 3 minute drive."
