Historic 4 Bed, 2.5 Bath Home. An Open House and first showing of this magnificently crafted historic home will be Sunday, June 22nd 1-3pm. Known lovingly and historically as the Hewitt House located at 26 Elmwood Place, the home was built in 1905 by John Clark Hewitt, a lumber and building products supplier who owned Sunnyside Lumber Company. One of the most iconic homes built in Athens, Ohio, this home is one of very few of this quality and preserved features existing locally. Consisting of 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a nice sized home office, original oak and other species of hardwood floors, 12-inch baseboard trim as well as the extraordinary window and door trim that was expertly and carefully installed by master craftsmen of that era. Original to the home is the 3rd floor, unfinished yet impressive front Tower/Turret that transforms the home to a Queen Anne Style design. A rear addition to the home is a large 1.5 story sunroom/greenhouse. The back yard has Athens Brick and stone weaving throughout the garden areas creating quaint and comfortable walkways. Easy walk to OU's campus and uptown Athens, 26 Elmwood Place is certainly a conveniently-located and one-of-a-kind property.
