Steps away from Oberlin’s historic and scenic reservoir/park, this charming century Colonial is located on a quiet residential side street, within walking distance to the local downtown, college campus, parks and everything! Meet up with friends for walks around the reservoir, wetlands, or the arboretum and delight in bird-watching, or take a bike ride on the Northcoast Inland trail to catch the year-round changing beauty of the seasons. A welcoming front porch and foyer leads to two bright living rooms with an adjacent library/study/den, offering many possibilities to suit your personal lifestyle. A formal dining room features hardwood floors, and large windows overlooking the rear garden. The fully-equipped updated kitchen features plenty of countertops, pantry, pull-out cabinets and a convenient “pass-through” counter to the dining room. The kitchen can also be accessed from a hallway off the living area with a half bath nearby. A unique feature of this home is a second staircase from the kitchen corner that leads to the upstairs bedroom for added privacy when hosting guests or gatherings. A beautiful staircase from the front foyer leads to four good-sized bedrooms on the second floor that share a spacious full bath with linen closets, a walk-in closet and a dressing area. Desirable features include an efficient layout to maximize rooms, plenty of windows for natural light and ventilation, floor to ceiling built-in bookshelves on two walls on the first floor, beautiful porches on each floor to enjoy western sunset views, gorgeous hardwood floors in several areas, granite kitchen countertops with soft-close cabinetry, low-maintenance aluminum siding, a well-built brick two-car garage, enclosed rear garden with privacy fence, newer A/C unit (2021), a newer furnace (2020), a newer water heater (2022), a water-proofed basement with exterior access, and established plants and perennials in garden beds – schedule your virtual or in-person tour today!
