Description
This striking Tudor style home is an Oberlin landmark located on a beautiful street, close to the local arboretum, trails, golf course and within walking distance to town and campus. It is also the first steel-frame home in town, with sturdy and insulated lathe and plaster walls, thus making it, according to a local historian, "a tight, fireproof, soundproof structure, cool in summer and economical in winter." A small front porch with gothic arches provides a sheltered entry into the front foyer, which opens into a spacious living room with inglenook seating, and a delightful adjacent sun-room. A den/study on the opposite side of the home leads into the old kitchen which now serves as a mud-room and a side entry foyer. The new and modern eat-in kitchen has plenty of room for gourmet cooking and family gatherings, and opens onto an outdoor sandstone dining patio and a peaceful garden. The second floor houses four bedrooms and two baths, while the third floor has a fifth bedroom and a full bath. The full-height basement houses laundry facilities, utilities room, a wine cellar, and a large multi-purpose room with exposed ceilings beams. Distinctive architectural features include steep multi-gabled roofs, half-timbering, prominent chimney, tall and narrow mullioned casement windows with leaded glass, patterned brick, arched doorways and warm and cozy interiors with grained oak and maple parquet flooring throughout. This home is a must-see - schedule your tour today!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOberlin High School is an amazing place. They have so many offerings given its small size. There are interesting electives, an amazing art program and some truly wonderful teachers and staff. Is it perfect, no. But no school is. I am very happy with the education my children have received at OHS and I the diversity (both socioeconomically as well as racially) of the student body is a wonderful asset. These young people grow up together and truly learn from each other. There are wonderful after-school activities and sports as well.Parent Review5y ago - Langston Middle School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would not recommend attending this school as they have multiple problems one of the biggest being bullying. Teachers either don't care or just don't do anything and tell you to "handle it yourself." When I tried to do this however I got a detention and was injured by the bullie. My friends have been harassed by other students and again nothing happened when this was reported.Student Review1y ago
