69 Grosvenor St, Athens, OH 45701

Given today's meaning of the word, this house on a hill may not exactly qualify as a "mansion." But dig into the etymology just a bit and you'll find the Old French origins hit the nail right on the head. The original meaning was less aligned with big and fancy and more a long the lines of "permanent abode, dwelling or habitation." And that's just what this place offers: since it doesn't qualify for a rental permit (no off street parking), here's a home where you the eventual owner get to hang your own hat. And what a place to hang it! Freshly painted and priced-to-sell, this Eastside home boasts a large front living and dining room, big kitchen and main level owner's BR w/private bath. Upper level has two additional bedrooms plus a second full bath, claw-foot tub included. Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint, replacement windows, metal roof and more. Top it all off with a big, comfy front sitting porch where you can kick you feet up on the rail on a hot summer day and survey your domain from this mansion on the hill.
