534 Central Avenue

Some homes hold history. This one invites you to become part of it. Beautifully preserved, this 125-year-old brick home blends timeless character with thoughtful restoration. Featuring two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was restored and renovated in 2001, including updates to electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, original interior doors and trim, and heart pine floors refinished with tung oil honor the home's heritage. Restored original windows open from both the top and bottom, while an operable transom above the front door welcomes light and ventilation. A distinctive basement offers potential for additional usable space, and the expansive, tent-like attic invites imagination. Outside, the generous 49' x 220' lot offers a secluded retreat with mature hedges, established trees and elegant limestone stonework--all without a lawn to mow. A large rear parking area and a through driveway connecting Central Avenue to the alley make access easy. The deep lot also offers potential for an accessory dwelling unit with separate alley access, subject to zoning and permitting approval. Across from the Fortwood Historic District and close to UTC, this special property offers a compelling setting for a live/work lifestyle, with historic charm, outdoor privacy and room for your next chapter.
