About this House

The Castle Park area is no doubt one of the most coveted in Akron. And this spot is primed and ready for its new owners. For those of you itching for an updated and move in ready home, well, here you go. All the hard stuff has been taken care of - roof, furnace, and a/c are all brand new. The main floor bathroom has been completely remodeled with gorgeous oversized subway tile. There has even been a brand new second bathroom added in the lower level where one never existed. Check the kitchen off your list as well. Walls were taken down and new cabinets installed, and appliances too. Open concept, you betcha. The downstairs lower level has been waterproofed and completely finished, adding additional living space. You can have that man cave, kids room, whatever you need it to be. The backyard is absolutely gigantic and, as such, can easily accommodate whatever pool/patio combo you dream up. Ranches like this don't come along very often. Better get to it sooner than later.

    "If you leave before 7:30 am there is rarely any traffic. Lately there has been a lot of construction on market street. Ohio always has potholes. But compared to other cities, it’s a breeze. "

    "We have raised our children here, where they received great educations in our city schools and have had many happy years in our home. At least 6 of our neighbors have been here just as long as we have. It's so convenient to everything and now Hardesty park has a walking path too. There are Monday night concerts in Hardesty park as well in the summer and it's just two blocks away. It's a wonderful neighborhood that is just as nice now as it was in 1985 when we first moved here. I have loved living here. Schools, stores, restaurants, public transportation and even upscale coffee shops are within blocks of my home....awesome place to live"

    "We have lived here for 18 years and the the neighborhood is convenient, safe and involved. You can walk to most anything you need (coffee shops, ice cream, dry cleaners, restaurants, grocery stores, paint store and a great park). The neighbors are friendly and we have great block parties and light up the streets at Christmas with luminaries, parades at 4th of July and fun Halloweens. It's a great little part of Akron that has stood the test of time. "
