OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY JUNE 22 1-3 PM A Historic Colonial Gem Steps from OSU—On the Market for the First Time Since 1968! Tucked behind towering evergreens on a sprawling, lush acreage, this distinguished 1946 Colonial sandstone estate—held by only three owners in its lifetime—is a rare and exquisite find. Offering over 3,600 sq. ft. of refined living space, this timeless beauty delivers both privacy and proximity, located just a few blocks from OSU. A majestic magnolia tree, rumored to be the mother of all magnolias in town, provides shade and seclusion for the upper deck, an idyllic retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Inside, craftsmanship reigns, beginning with a handmade waterfall staircase that elegantly connects the grand front entry to the upper floors. The second level boasts two spacious bedrooms, separated by a full bath, while the primary suite is a private sanctuary, complete with its own bath and direct access to that dreamy upper deck. Storage abounds—including a massive cedar closet, built-in ironing board, and thoughtfully designed cabinetry throughout. Downstairs, original oak floors and soaring 10-foot ceilings create an atmosphere of grandeur. The gorgeous living room, framed by crown molding, showcases a black granite fireplace with its original carved mantle, leading seamlessly through French doors to a wraparound library with terrace access. Rich details continue in the formal dining room, where a built-in china cabinet with leaded glass doors adds vintage charm, adjoining a thoughtfully updated galley kitchen with butcher block counters and new tile. The adjacent breakfast room features a half bath, a walk-in pantry bursting with storage, and a clever breezeway connecting to the two-car garage. Downstairs, the finished basement offers a spacious rec room, a cozy fireplace, and a north-facing window flooding the space with natural light. The laundry chute starts from the primary suite, winds through the kitchen before reaching the lower-level laundry room—a brilliant nod to the home’s practical design. With solid red mahogany doors, original tiled bathrooms, and impeccable craftsmanship throughout, this residence is an unparalleled blend of history and elegance. The home includes a whole house Generac generator.
