1189 Fairwood Ave, Columbus, OH 43206

Charming home with lots of character on a classic, tree-lined street in Columbus' historic Driving Park neighborhood. Inside, sunlight fills the main living spaces, where you can curl up with a book and take a personal day. A standout upgrade is the central A/C, newly updated in 2025, offering efficient, reliable cooling for Ohio's warm seasons. Sick of waiting for someone to get out of the bathroom? Well, with two full bathrooms that problem will no longer be a problem for you in this home. The backyard is suitable for gardening, grilling or chilling with your tribe/family/dog/imaginary friend. This home is located just minutes from the shops of German Village but without the hefty price tag. This home was flipped when the current owner bought it a few years ago so it still has a relatively new furnace, water heater and appliances. All windows are insulated and functional making this home energy efficient. Yes, some TLC is needed such as the carpets and some more painting could be done to spruce the place up, hence why this is priced where it is priced. You are not going to find many homes under $180k with two full bathrooms. In fact there are only 8 including this one in the entire city of Columbus. This pocket of 43206 sits near Driving Park, a district named for the late-1800s horse-racing track that later hosted some of the city's earliest automobile races. As streetcars extended from downtown in the early 20th century, the area filled with sturdy homes, sidewalks, and leafy streets that still define the neighborhood's walkable feel today. You'll feel the blend of history and momentum here—close to core Columbus amenities, major employers, and the city's vibrant dining and arts scenes. Driving Park has a pool and community center very close by. You could ride a bike there in three minutes. The community center is currently offering pickleball and line dancing classes! Please park in back of house to tour the property.
