Yes, you now have the opportunity to purchase a historic Lustron home in north Clintonville, one of Columbus' most desirable locations. Situated on Arden Road in Clintonville, this location provides easy access to Whetstone Park, all the commerce along N High Street, The Ohio State University, the Short North, and downtown Columbus. The streamlined Lustron home is an icon of mid-century modern design. This nearly original Lustron is in exceptionally good condition. Lustron homes are built entirely of steel, making them highly durable and resistant to rot, pests, and fire. The roof, walls, and ceilings are constructed with porcelain-enameled steel panels, making them virtually maintenance free. Lustron homes were produced here in Columbus in the late 1940s as a solution to the post-WWII housing shortage. However, less than 2,500 were ultimately constructed, and less than 1500 remain standing today. This Lustron retains the original forced-air heating system, which is quite effective. The Lustron design also regulates indoor temperatures well. Lustron homes include built-ins such as vanities, bookshelves, closets, and wall-hung cabinetry, maximizing space in a compact footprint. The floor plan is simple and highly functional, with good natural lighting. With owning this low-maintenance home, you'll have the time to enjoy the updated three-season room, the 2 & 1/2 car garage, and the spacious backyard. Other updates include engineered hardwood floors throughout, casement windows, and canopy window awnings. Schedule your showing today or stop by one of the two open houses. You'll surely like what you see!
