Thrilling rehab opportunity in Ohio City! During the last third of the 19th century, Franklin Boulevard was the most prestigious residential address in Cleveland. Franklin Circle, near the eastern end of the street, was surrounded by grand mansions, the homes of prominent Cleveland families, including this large Italianate Victorian house, exhibiting one of the popular American architectural styles of the period. High ceilings and tall arched doors and windows are framed with lavish molding. Rich turned newels and balusters line front and back staircases, and graceful curves embellish the front. The upper level has five large bedrooms including one with vaulted ceiling, loft and skylights. A full walk-out basement provides generous space for laundry, utilities, workshop space and storage. The basement could be finished in part to add an additional living suite, as shown in a set of architectural drawings on display for interest or inspiration. Just imagine the potential for patio and garden in the fenced yard behind the house. A detached garage has alley access, and more than enough room for two cars if the door were widened. The house was re-roofed in 2006, the boiler and electrical panel were upgraded in 2011, water heater is ten years old, 75% of original windows have been reconditioned and reglazed. Fantastic location in 19th century Cleveland, and in the 21st. Walk to park, museum, West Side Market, restaurants and bars.
