About this home
Discover the perfect blend of modern updates, timeless character, and thoughtful craftsmanship in this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 1-bath home in Akron's desirable Firestone Park neighborhood. Far from your typical renovation, this property showcases distinctive custom woodwork throughout, including kitchen countertops, shelving, and a fireplace mantel crafted from reclaimed wood salvaged from Akron's historic Cedar Street Bridge.
The beautifully updated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and a spacious island complete with a built-in wine rack. The open layout flows seamlessly into the dining area, while the inviting living room features a fireplace and access to the home's charming covered front porch.
Upstairs, you'll find an expansive primary bedroom with a walk-in closet, originally designed as two separate bedrooms, along with an additional bedroom and a beautifully renovated full bathroom featuring a tiled walk-in shower. The finished third floor offers versatile additional living space, ideal for a home office, guest room, or recreation area.
Extensive improvements include updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, flooring, additional insulation, a hot water tank, garage roof, interior and exterior paint, and a comprehensive exterior basement waterproofing system.
Ideally located less than 500 feet from the Firestone Park Community Center, this home offers convenient access to neighborhood recreation, I-77, downtown Akron, and the University of Akron. With its unique history, quality updates, and desirable location, this property offers an exceptional opportunity to own a truly distinctive home....
