Property Description

Step into the character and charm of this beautiful 1901 Queen Anne-style century home in Kent, Ohio. Thoughtfully maintained and move-in ready, this 4-bedroom home blends historic craftsmanship with updates for today's lifestyle. Original woodworking, stunning inlaid wood floors, and 9-foot ceilings showcase the architectural character throughout. The formal parlor offers a welcoming gathering space, while gorgeous pocket doors allow you to open or separate adjoining rooms as needed. The home’s showstopping original Victorian staircase is a true centerpiece, featuring richly detailed turned balusters, a massive paneled newel, elaborate carved detailing, and intricate spindle and beadwork surrounding the stair enclosure. A versatile main-floor bonus room offers flexible space for a home office, playroom, or 5th bedroom. Original service stairs are located off the kitchen at the rear of the home, adding another distinctive architectural detail.

Outside, enjoy the welcoming front porch, composite rear deck, and partially fenced backyard with a playset and basketball hoop. The oversized two-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Recent updates include roof (2019), gutters (2020), and windows (2022).
