102 E Center St, Germantown, OH 45327

This historic 1840 treasure, nestled in the Village of Germantown and once the home and office of Dr. John Brown, combines a wealth of history with extensive modern updates. The 3,240 sq. ft primary residence, where Dr. Brown's family lived, offers a comforting space with four bedrooms, two updated full baths, and retains its original charm with features like wide plank hardwood floors (with new carpeting laid over in some areas), high ceilings, and Jeffersonian windows with original carved oak woodwork. In recent years, the property has seen significant renovations: the main building and the 352 sq. ft. guest cottage at the rear — historically used by Dr. Brown to see his patients — both boast new roofs. The cottage, now equipped with electric service, new windows, and updated soffit, along with the main house's new roofing, add to the property's value and durability. Inside the main home, updates include a remodeled kitchen completed in 2020, maintaining the character with a cast iron commercial-grade gas range, and an HVAC system updated in 2019, HWH in 2019, Water softener in 19. HVAC can be transferred to one more owner and has been regularly serviced. Enhancements to the property continue with a new electrical panel, modern lighting, a full shower in the first-floor bath, and a new thermostat, creating a blend of historical allure and contemporary comfort. The original, now inoperable, fireplace adds character, while safety and efficiency are addressed with all knob and tube wiring made inoperable and shut off, replaced with updated electrical systems. For additional living space, the attic can be finished to suit new needs.
