Welcome to 1609 S 8th Street, a fully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of Merion Village that delivers the kind of finishes you don't expect at this price point. Enter inside and the first floor opens up into a seamless layout designed for everyday living, a spacious kitchen anchored by an oversized island, flowing naturally into a dining area and generous living room filled with natural light. The mudroom off the back door is exactly the kind of thoughtful detail that makes daily life easier, a real drop zone for coats, bags, and everything in between. Head upstairs and the second floor delivers where it matters most. Three well-sized bedrooms, each with large closets, are served by two full bathrooms featuring double vanities with marble countertops, the kind of detail that signals a renovation done with intention, not shortcuts. The primary bedroom offers the most space with an expanded closet, and second-floor laundry means you'll never haul a basket downstairs again. Outside, a fully fenced backyard provides privacy and room to spread out, with a one-car garage completing the package. Merion Village continues to be one of Columbus's most compelling neighborhoods, minutes from German Village and downtown, with the kind of community feel that keeps people rooted. This home pairs that neighborhood character with a renovation that checks every box. See A2A remarks.
