406 6th

This 1920s bungalow still has what you buy an old house for: a wide front porch, tall ceilings, original wood floors that have been refinished, and a clawfoot tub. The updates are the ones that cost real money. The roof is a new 30-year architectural shingle. The kitchen is new, with new cabinets, butcher block counters, and stainless appliances, including a gas range. Both full bathrooms have been redone. The water heater is new, and the HVAC was replaced within the last few years. Inside there are three bedrooms and two full baths, plus a living room that opens to a separate dining room. Blackout shades are already up in the primary bedroom. Out back is something you rarely find downtown: parking for five cars, including covered spaces, plus a storage building for tools, bikes, everything that doesn't belong in the house. You're minutes from downtown Columbus restaurants and shops. Have your coffee on the porch, park in the back, and skip the renovation.
