A beautiful, historic Craftsman family home in Bluffton, Ohio within walking distance to downtown, Bluffton schools & Bluffton University.

All bedrooms are upstairs with large walk-in closets attached to each room. First floor bath includes a custom tiled walk-in shower and second story bath features the original Kohler clawfoot tub that is newly reglazed & can also be used as a shower. Kitchen butcher block counters are also newly refinished and sealed. Original hardwood floors throughout with vinyl laminate planking through the kitchen & mudroom.
