Beautiful restored home in historic Old Oaks! Close to downtown!

Experience Modern Comfort and Convenience in the Heart of Columbus!

Welcome to our beautifully restored home located in the historic Old Oaks District. Surround yourself with the charm of turn-of-the-century homes and enjoy the nearby boulevard, perfect for leisurely walks with your leashed pets.

Situated just half a mile from Nationwide Children’s Hospital and with easy freeway access, our location offers convenient proximity to everything in the heart of Columbus. Downtown, the Arena District, OSU, German Village, the Brewery District, Bexley, Franklinton, Grandview, and more are just minutes away, ensuring you can explore the best the city has to offer.

Parking is a breeze with our private garage space, suitable for a midsize sedan or SUV. Additional parking is available directly behind the garage, and the wide street provides ample free street parking, so finding a spot is typically hassle-free.

Step inside our restored home, where modern living meets old-world charm. The cozy ambiance is enhanced by thoughtful touches, from the trim to the lighting, preserving the home's original character. The backyard is transformed into a true oasis, perfect for relaxation.

The main level features a gourmet kitchen with a spacious peninsula countertop and bar seating. Whether you're whipping up a quick meal or indulging in culinary adventures, the well-appointed kitchen provides all the conveniences you need. The open-concept design seamlessly connects the kitchen to the generous dining room and living space, complete with a large flat-screen TV featuring streaming cable for your entertainment.

Off the kitchen, you'll find a convenient back entryway with a delightful mudroom, equipped with a bench and plenty of hooks for storing belongings. A half bath on this level ensures convenience without the need to go upstairs.

As you ascend the grand staircase, you'll discover two spacious bedrooms with comfortable queen beds. The primary bedroom features walk-in closets, offering ample space for longer stays. The bathroom will transport you to a spa-like experience, with its original clawfoot tub for a relaxing soak and an open-air shower adorned with natural light.

Additional amenities on the upper level include a washer/dryer all-in-one unit for easy laundry care. For larger loads or bulkier items, a full-size washer and dryer are available in the basement.

For those who need to work during their stay, we provide a dedicated office space furnished with a convertible stand-up desk, chair, and basic office supplies.

Stepping into the backyard, you'll discover a lovely, spacious fenced yard adorned with beautiful flowers. The brick patio, complete with a pergola, outdoor dining area, and fire pit, is perfect for enjoying outdoor relaxation. Your furry friends will love the pet-friendly environment as well.

As passionate animal lovers, we welcome pets with a daily fee. Please indicate if you'll be bringing any pets along. To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we kindly request that all pets be treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworm.

My wife, Cassie, and I personally rehabbed this home and lived here full time for several years. Although we have now moved to Athens, we couldn't bear to part with the place we poured so much love into and the city we still adore.

Our primary business revolves around vacation rental cabins in Hocking Hills, making our decision to share this home with guests in Columbus a natural one.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. Myself or my assistant, Marianne, will be delighted to help.

We are excited to have the opportunity to host you during your stay in Columbus and will do everything we can to ensure it's the best experience possible!

Beautifully restored home. The neighborhood is safe enough, no violence or damage was imposed directly to me or my family. People leaving notes about feeling unsafe had nothing happen to them directly as far as I can read. But I grew up in Columbus so perhaps I am thicker skinned.Kitchen was well stocked, except for no dish towels. Also lack of rugs at the entry doors made for messy floors we tried to keep clean.This is not a 10/10 review for only a few reasons:One is that there is inadequate bedding. No comforters or blankets, only 1 very thin blanket for each bed. The listing reads there is an air mattress, but we couldn't use it because there was no bedding for it. It was hard for the 4 of us to sleep in 2 beds, given our ages and relationships, and we definitely lost sleep due to inadequate bedding. The listing did warn of only 1 towel per person but it was inconvenient due to the amount of days we stayed, more than 1 towel would have been nice. The second reason is the cleanliness. There was animal hair around all corners of the floors, even on one of the beds (as if a dog layed across the top and it wasn't changed). The housekeeper was polite, but definitely not finished when we checked in at 4pm. Maybe due to holiday scheduling, no biggie.Again, beautiful and tastefully decorated home, might rent again, but we'll need to be better prepared with bedding, towels, etc.

Location was convenient but neighborhood concerned me initially as we drove up. Having garage was super helpful and made us more comfortable. Check-in process and communications were great. Greg was super responsive to addressing questions and a low battery on garage keypad was taken care of promptly. House is quaint and clean. Neighborhood ended up being quiet and safe and house was convenient for us attending Ohio State game.

This house is great!!! I was a little concerned when driving up, but the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The garage is such a blessing. We liked how everything was laid out in a user friendly manner. The owners were so communicative and helpful. We didn't really need any help but I was confident if we did need something they would be on it right away. The location worked well for our adventures. I loved the shower head and the woodwork in the house.

Great location, backyard and decor

There was a lot about this property that we loved. The backyard was awesome, the decor was great, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was generally clean. The location was great for us. We had plenty of space and were comfortable enough. That said...we travel a lot, and there were small details that made this a four and not a five: The host did not respond to specific questions sent in the app during our stay; There was something sticky on one of the sheets - it seemed like something from the wash, and the sheets had obviously been cleaned, but it was still off-putting; the sheets were also very thin; Finally, I got a splinter in the hardwood floor. Bad luck, but wear socks!

Great location, nice property

The property was clean and nicely laid out. We were allowed to bring both our dogs so the enclosed backyard was a godsend. There was plenty of space for my husband, myself and the dogs. The location was very convenient for downtown which is where we spent most of our time. Nothing the hosts can do but the neighborhood was littered with trash. It was a windy weekend, so maybe that was a one-off. There were a few non-urgent, minor issues which the hosts were very responsive to. (blown light bulb, for example).We will most likely reserve this same property in the future, if available.

Well restored and comfortable home in improving neighborhood

Upon arrival to the house, I questioned the safety of the neighborhood. The area is clearly going through significant gentrification, as there are newly updated beautiful homes side-by-side with those more run down. I was glad to have a garage to park my car in and a fenced in back yard. Over the course of my stay, I became more comfortable with the neighborhood and never heard or saw anything or anyone scary. The house inside was perfect. Beautifully restored with a great kitchen, comfortable beds and shower. Phenomenal value! Just a 10 minute drive to downtown, which I did twice daily. I truly appreciated last minute being able to check in early and stay late.
