Step Into History with a Landmark Lorain County Home Originally custom-built for the first Mayor of Lorain and later owned by some of the most notable figures in American history, this remarkable 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence is truly one-of-a-kind. Every detail of this home has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its historic character while adding modern comfort and style. Inside, the original hardwood floors have been carefully refinished and stained to match their authentic tone from the home’s construction. A brand-new roof with 50-year dimensional shingles and all new high-efficiency windows provide long-lasting peace of mind. The kitchen has been completely reimagined into a chef’s dream, offering modern finishes and function while honoring the home’s character. Two beautifully renovated full bathrooms complement four spacious bedrooms, creating the perfect balance of historic charm and contemporary living. Recent updates continue outside, where a brand-new privacy fence enhances the backyard, and the basement has been professionally waterproofed for long-term durability. This is more than just a home—it’s a piece of Lorain County history, meticulously preserved and ready for its next chapter.

Very well-appointed home. The very best quality of care and decorations have gone into this lovely home. The tile work is splendid. Care can be seen in every aspect of the home. Draperies are beautiful and custom made. Home does not require much maintenance. Both garage and front door have removable wood ramps, should someone need them or that can just be kept in garage should guest need them. The patio area is wonderful for entertaining and it is built to protect privacy. No restrictions and only an annual HOA fee that is presently $375.00. If you would like even less responsibility, you can join others in the neighborhood and with a very modest fee you can have your grass cut and your snow removed. Built in 2004.
