145 S 7th Street

Live, work, and create in this remarkable dual-zoned (commercial/residential) German/Victorian home in Zanesville's Arts Overlay District. Situated in the DORA District and walking distance to restaurants, the river, the courthouse, and banks -- with a view of the Muskingum River from the second floor -- this fully restored historic property offers 3-5 bedrooms, two kitchens, two dining rooms, three entrances, two stairways, and 2.5 baths. Easy access to I-70 makes commuting a breeze. The flexible layout supports nearly any lifestyle: a single-family home, a home-based practice (consulting, counseling, or therapy), a mother-in-law suite, an income-producing rental, or Airbnb rooms with separate entrances and lockable doors. Parents could set up the teens upstairs with their own kitchen, TV room, and laundry -- and live peacefully in their own haven below. This is a true restoration -- not a flip. Highlights include unpainted historic woodwork, pocket doors, stained-glass windows, and leaded glass sidelights. Infrastructure is entirely new: 200-amp wiring, PEX plumbing, all new bathroom fixtures, two furnaces, two thermostats, and replacement windows (historic windows retained with storm windows added). The kitchen has been returned to its original location with a full pantry. A genuine labor of love by long-time community fixtures who know and love this neighborhood, the owners have poured years into bringing this home back to life. Now a new season calls them onward, and the next steward inherits something truly special. Some flooring and woodwork refinishing remains -- a perfect opportunity to add your own finishing touch to an already extraordinary property. Utility records are on-site and surprisingly reasonable. Wi-Fi and SimpliSafe security included. Space like this doesn't come around often -- use your imagination and make it yours.
