Rarely does an in-town Bowling Green home offer this much space, character, and connection to the outdoors. Set on two adjoining parcels totaling approximately 1/3 acre, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is just a few blocks from downtown, the library and city amenities, with BGSU approximately one mile away. Inside, the flexible floor plan offers something increasingly hard to find: a first-floor primary bedroom with full bath and first-floor laundry. The main level also includes a half bath, kitchen, living/dining room, office/study, den, enclosed three-season front porch and open side porch. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, a second full bath and abundant closet and storage space. But the grounds truly set this property apart. Over 32 years, the owners have transformed the lawn into an extraordinary landscape featuring approximately 65 varieties of native grasses and flowering plants. They've added raised vegetable gardens and an impressive collection of now mature trees. White and swamp oaks, American sycamore, river birch, quaking aspen, evergreens, fruit trees and more create layers of shade, color and seasonal interest you'll enjoy from three outdoor patio areas. In 2025, the gardens received regional recognition for outstanding residential native gardening. The gardens weren't the only improvement. Substantial improvements throughout the home include the roof, windows, 200-amp electrical service, HVAC, water heater, kitchen and baths, concrete walk and driveway apron and LeafFilter-protected gutters. With a detached garage and an unusually deep 66' x 218' property, there is room here to garden, gather, create and unwind—all within blocks of the heart of Bowling Green. Please ask for a Garden Guide and Updates Sheet.
