About this home
Welcome to 490 Dorchester Rd, a charming 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Colonial built in 1927. It is full of character with built-ins throughout, a sunken fireplace area, and a screened-in porch recently upgraded with custom glass enclosures, new flooring, and a fan for three-season enjoyment.
What sets this home apart is the property. A rare second lot combines with the main parcel, creating nearly a third of an acre. The well manicured front lawn bursts with hundreds of tulip bulbs and tiger lilies throughout the year, and a flower-lined brick patio out back is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The fenced second lot has been a productive garden growing corn, pumpkins, tomatoes, and beans, and also features a play set and a grape arbor. This is a perfect oasis for gardeners, growing families, or anyone craving more room in the city. A 2-car garage completes the package.
Come see why this West Akron home with a double lot is one buyers don't want to miss.
