About this property
Franklin Park Gem / Historic Bones, Modern Comfort - 3BR, 2.5BA
Welcome to your perfect Columbus home base! Nestled right across the street from historic Franklin Park (ranked #34 of the 35 Most Beautiful Places in the US by House Beautiful), this beautifully updated 1907 brick duplex perfectly blends historic bones with modern comfort.
Whether you are in town for a family wedding, a work trip to New Albany, or a weekend exploring the city, you are perfectly positioned. The vibrant East Market is just a short stroll through the backyard, giving you instant access to local food vendors, drinks, and entertainment.
The Space: Step into a beautifully restored 1907 brick duplex sitting directly across from the Franklin Park Conservatory waterfall in Columbus's Historic Trolley District. This 3BR, 2.5BA home spans three floors and nearly 2,000 sq ft. The ironwork on the porch, the arched windows, the original brick — this building has stories. The recent renovation brought it back to life without losing any of its soul.
Why You'll Love It: - Exposed brick & original architectural details throughout - Franklin Park waterfall right across the street — morning coffee on the porch hits different - Walk to East Market, Local Cantina, Columbus Brewing Co. - Locally crafted furniture — the dining table was made right here in Columbus - Fully stocked kitchen — coffee, tea, water, popcorn waiting for you - Pet-friendly — bowls, wipes, and bags provided - Free on-street parking on a quiet residential street
Layout: • 1st Floor: Open living space with exposed brick, original pocket doors, cozy seating, Smart TV, and a full bath. The dining area anchors the floor with a handcrafted Columbus-made table. • 2nd Floor: Two queen bedrooms, full bath, and in-unit washer/dryer. Quiet and comfortable. • 3rd Floor: A private retreat — queen bedroom, half bath, and Smart TV. The highest, quietest room in the house.
The Neighborhood: You're in Olde Towne East, one of Columbus's most beloved historic neighborhoods. Franklin Park is steps away. East Market is a 10-minute walk. The Short North, German Village, Ohio State, and the airport are all under 10 minutes by car.
Good to Know / House Rules: - The neighbors are cool — let's keep it that way. No parties or disruptive events are permitted. - The toilets are 115 years old and have opinions, but they work great! - Self check-in via smart lock — code sent before arrival. - This home shares a wall with the neighboring unit — some sound transfer is possible. - No handicap access — steps at front and side entrances. - Smart TVs ready — log in with your own streaming accounts. - Starter toiletries, paper towels, and toilet paper provided. - Early check-in ($25/hr) and late checkout ($50) available when schedule allows — just ask. - Pet-friendly — we can't guarantee an allergen-free environment.
