Step into the timeless charm of this stately Akron Four-Square, located just blocks from the heart of Highland Square. Built in 1910, this spacious home offers more than 2,200 square feet of living space, showcasing beautiful original woodwork throughout and over a century of history.
Once operated as a boarding house, the home's character remains beautifully preserved. The expansive second-floor landing welcomes you to bedrooms that still feature their original locks and keys, offering a glimpse into the past. Imagine residents gathering for meals in the formal dining room or spending warm evenings visiting on the generous front porch.
In more recent years, the property served as a single-family rental, and a full bathroom was added to the main floor for added convenience. Major updates include a newer roof and updated electrical panel, and the finished attic provides additional flexible living space.
With thoughtful updates and a little TLC, 62 N. Balch Street presents a wonderful opportunity to restore this historic beauty to its former glory while making it your own. Talk to your lender about the FHA 203K Renovation Loan!
