1719 Ohio Avenue

This stately brick home is filled with the kind of original character that is nearly impossible to recreate. Built in 1912 and offering approximately 2,274 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a spacious layout with plenty of room to spread out. From the moment you enter, the gorgeous unpainted woodwork takes center stage with wide trim, solid wood doors, hardwood floors, built-in benches, glass-front cabinetry and detailed millwork throughout. The large living room offers multiple seating areas and flows into a formal dining room surrounded by even more built-ins. The kitchen continues the character with extensive original cabinetry, generous storage and a large built-in hutch. Upstairs, four bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, substantial wood trim and plenty of natural light. A full bathroom and additional hallway storage complete the second floor. The large walk-up attic provides even more room for storage, hobbies or future possibilities, while the full basement includes laundry space, utilities and additional storage and a second bathroom. Outside, the property includes two parcels, a detached brick garage, a wooded setting, a ravine along the side and an additional lot next to the property, giving it a more private feel than you would typically expect in the city. The home will need some updating and repairs, but the space, craftsmanship and original details are already here. For the buyer who appreciates old-house character and knows the value of woodwork that has never met a paintbrush, this one deserves a closer look.
