Charming Clintonville Home with Big-House Amenities - tucked into the heart of Clintonville, minutes from the Park of Roses, local coffee shops and restaurants, and an easy hop to 315, this fully renovated home blends historic charm with modern livability rarely found in the neighborhood. The kitchen anchors the main floor with a large island, granite counters, a built-in desk, pantry, and a striking accent wall crafted from custom 1800s barn wood -- flowing into an open family room. Brazilian hardwood runs throughout the entire first floor. Upstairs offers four bedrooms, including an owner's retreat with cathedral ceilings, a custom Closet by Design walk-in, and a spa-like en-suite with granite vanity and custom shelving, plus second-floor laundry. The finished lower level adds a fifth bedroom, full bath, rec room, and storage -- perfect for guests or a home office. Outside, enjoy the large front porch and a privacy-fenced backyard featuring a one-of-a-kind mural that's become a neighborhood statement piece. A 1.5-car garage plus additional parking pad round things out. With 3.5 bathrooms and thoughtful updates throughout, this home delivers Clintonville charm with the space of a much larger property.

South Clintonville, located between Glen Echo Ravine and the Ohio State University campus, is a residential and walkable Columbus neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a strong local-business strip. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around High Street near North Broadway, where coffee counters, indie boutiques, and casual eateries keep sidewalks active. Community pillars include Studio 35 Cinema & Drafthouse, Weiland’s Market, and the Clintonville Farmers Market. Early-20th-century bungalows and brick colonials sit behind deep front porches and mature canopy trees. The Olentangy Trail and nearby ravines shape daily routines with river views and shaded paths. Pocket parks and school grounds add green breaks between blocks.
