Set on a spacious double lot, this three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath house offers 2,734 square feet of character, flexibility, and renovation potential. With two driveways, generous outdoor space, and a well-established Elyria setting, the property presents an exciting opportunity to restore a distinctive home while tailoring it to your own style. Inside, original natural woodwork brings warmth and craftsmanship to the living areas. A built-in window seat creates a charming place to pause with a book, while a built-in dresser adds practical vintage appeal. Two fireplaces add architectural interest and could become memorable focal points after appropriate inspection and updating. The substantial floor plan provides room to rethink finishes, refresh key spaces, and bring the home’s original personality back to life. Outdoors, the double lot expands the possibilities for gardening, recreation, entertaining, or simply enjoying more breathing room. Two driveways add welcome parking flexibility—because coordinating cars should not require a planning summit. The yard offers a strong foundation for creating an inviting outdoor retreat. South Park is nearby for green space and outdoor recreation, and the United Polish Club is just across the way. The Elyria Performing Arts Center is also within easy reach, adding convenient access to local events and entertainment. For buyers who appreciate classic details and the chance to shape a home over time, this property is ready for its next chapter. Schedule a showing and imagine how your vision could transform this character-filled house and expansive lot into something truly special. This is a must see to appreciate and will need some time and love to restore it to its previous glory.
