Charming historic brick bungalow directly across from Donner Park, where timeless character meets thoughtful modern updates, and where everyday living extends seamlessly into one of Columbus' most beloved green spaces. Inside, beautifully preserved hardwood floors and abundant natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The living room features a gas fireplace, classic built-ins, and a striking custom Kramer Dutch door that opens to fresh air and direct park views, an architectural detail that makes this home truly special. Recently replaced windows enhance both comfort and efficiency while filling the home with light. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, featuring a nearly new Bosch 800 Series refrigerator and an easy flow into a bright, sun-filled dining room, perfect for gatherings and everyday living. Upstairs, the spacious primary bedroom showcases hardwood floors, generous storage, and its own cooling unit for added comfort, while central heating serves the home throughout. Additional bedroom cooling ensures flexibility during warmer months. The partially finished basement offers a versatile rec or playroom, while outside, a brick patio and fully fenced backyard create a private retreat for relaxing, entertaining, or pets. With walking paths, tennis courts, swimming, and open green space just steps away, this home offers a rare combination of charm, functionality, and lifestyle.
