Property Description
Discover the timeless beauty of the historic Allen Home, a stately center hall colonial built in 1917 for Edgar “Daddy” Allen—founder of Easter Seals and Elyria’s first hospital. Perfectly positioned on a picturesque ¾-acre lot, this remarkable property overlooks the Black River and Cascade Park’s waterfalls and hiking trails, with the Lorain County Historical Society’s “The Hickories” museum just across the street. Inside, classic character blends seamlessly with modern updates. The home features a stunning designer kitchen, three fully renovated bathrooms, refinished hardwood floors throughout, and new central air. Offering 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths (one on the main floor and one in the basement), the layout provides comfort and convenience for today’s living. All bedrooms and full baths are located upstairs, with a full-height third floor ready to be finished into an additional bedroom, bath, office, or game room. The basement adds even more versatility, with Nature Stone flooring in the laundry area, a fruit/wine cellar, and a workshop. From its rich history to its thoughtful updates, the Allen Home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Elyria’s heritage—ready for you to move right in.
