About this House

A large covered front porch welcomes you in -- the kind built for slow mornings and watching the neighborhood go by. This 1898 brick home in the heart of Clintonville pairs original character with genuine, done-for-you peace of mind. Original hardwood floors, recently sanded and refinished, pair with a modern kitchen featuring updated cabinets and countertops. Two full bathrooms on the first floor offer everyday convenience rarely found in homes of this era. Upstairs, the second-floor bathroom has been fully remodeled with an oversized soaking tub and double vanity. Cozy up by the gas fireplace, complete with a log insert that conveys with the home. With 5 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms across 2,260 square feet, there's room to grow, host, and settle in. Step outside to a concrete patio and fully fenced backyard. A new roof (2022) and water heater (2022), along with a dedicated AC/heat unit for the third floor. Just steps from Clintonville's beloved coffeehouses and shops, breweries like Yellow Springs Brewery, movie nights at Studio 35, and the natural beauty of Glen Echo and Walhalla Ravines. This is a home that's been genuinely cared for. Come see it for yourself.
