551 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43215

Classic German Village Italianate meticulously maintained in the heart of the restored historical district next to Pistacia Vera gourmet bakery and a block from famous retaurants such as Lindey's, Cento and Katzingers Deli. Also nearby is The Book Loft, coffee shops, hair salons (Penzone's across the street) and more. Walk to downtown Columbus and festivals, the Courts and other government buildings, Schiller Park, the Brewery District and Kroger. Mixed use zoning allows for a live/work environment with excellent streetfront exposure for a law or architectural/design firm or other service business. There is also the potential to sub-divide the space multiple ways for up to four, separate rental units. This would be a great opportunity for an investor in a secure neighborhood that has consistently maintained value and appreciation. A third option is to easily convert the building back to a brownstone mansion for a big family! Owner is willing to provide financing for qualifed buyers with one-third down and even rent a small portion of space from a new owner. The building has high ceilings and great light throughout and is move-in ready with two kitchens and four bathrooms. There is a carved, double oak door entrance with a lofted foyer leading to the separate first floor and a curved staircase with stained glass and bas-relief to the second floor landing. There is a combination of updated/modern and antique elements like exposed brick, hardwood floors and pocket doors. The building features a newer composition roof and recently (2024) refurbished gutters, soffit and downspouts. It has updated electric, wiring, and plumbing, two HVAC systems and a full, dry basement with built-ins for storage. The building has an updated security system and cameras, professional landscaping, brick side patio and three covered entrances and rear exit to parking off-street for up to four vehicles. On-street parking is also available. Realtors welcome. Bring your clients for a 2% owner-paid commission!
