131-year-old University District home listed for nearly $1 million
A University District home built in the late 1800s has hit the market for nearly $1 million.
The brick home, on King Avenue west of Neil Avenue, was built around 1893 in a Queen Anne style.
With four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms in 3,311 square feet, the home has been listed for $975,000 by Al Waddell, with RE/MAX Partners.
"This home has been well cared for over the last several decades," said Waddell. "It shows the pride of ownership in its historically sensitive updates and improvements."

Recent upgrades include the kitchen and the primary suite bathroom and closet.
In addition to the kitchen, the main floor includes a formal entry hall, living room and dining room, a half bath, and a family room with exposed brick walls and a vaulted ceiling overlooking the backyard.
Period details can be found throughout, including pocket doors, extensive wood trim, original fireplaces, hardwood floors, a stained-glass window in the main stairway landing, and built-in cabinets and a vintage chandelier in the dining room.
Two stairways lead to the second floor, which includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a laundry room.
Two more bedrooms, along with a remodeled full bathroom and sitting room can be found on the third floor, which is serviced by its own heating and air conditioning unit.

In addition to the kitchen and bath renovations, recent improvements include a radon system, a hot water-on-demand system, and chimney tuck pointing.
The home's central location, in addition to its vintage charm, is a draw, said Waddell.
"This is one of the best and most sought-after locations in Columbus, close to Downtown, parks, recreation centers, Wexner Medical Center, Battelle and so much more," he said. "Walk to restaurants, grocery stores and shopping."
The fenced back yard includes a large rear deck that descends to two patios and a three-car garage (accessed from an alley) with an overhead party door that opens to the yard.
