    What's special

    Bring Your Vision to Life! An exceptional opportunity to transform a loved, family-owned property with great potential in a very desirable neighborhood. Situated on Vernon Road in the highly sought-after community of Bexley, this property offers an opportunity to invest in a neighborhood celebrated for its timeless character, established residential streets, walkability, and strong sense of community. Just minutes from the heart of Columbus, Bexley combines classic neighborhood charm with convenient access to local shops, restaurants, parks, plus close proximity to freeways and other amenities. This home requires extensive renovations and is priced accordingly, offering the next owner a blank canvas to reimagine the space and create something truly special. Several standout features add to this home's appeal and versatility. The woodburning fireplace is functional and is near a gas line in case the new owners want to convert it to gas. The third-floor loft offers flexible space ideal for a potential fourth bedroom, home office, or bonus room. The basement is large and dry offering ample storage space and is already plumbed for an additional bathroom. A long, dedicated driveway includes an expanded parking area and provides convenient front access to the detached two-car garage. Situated along the rear alley, the garage also features a rear access door for added convenience when loading and unloading. Outside, enjoy a large front porch plus spacious, fully fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to relax, entertain, or play. An added bonus is the fully functioning (but rarely needed) whole-house gas generator just for added peace of mind. For those who recognize the value of a desirable location and the potential to bring a darling home back to life, this is an opportunity worth exploring. Bring your ideas, explore the possibilities, and unlock the potential this property has to offer. Owners would prefer to sell as-is, but will consider all offers.
