OPEN HOUSE: FRI 5-7pm. SAT 12-2pm. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street in one of those special little pockets of Clintonville, this classic Craftsman bungalow offers something hard to find: a peaceful neighborhood setting with the Olentangy River and bike trail practically in your backyard. Directly out of the garage and onto the trail, follow the river, or head out to enjoy the local restaurants, coffee shops, neighborhood bars, antique shops and farmers market that make Clintonville such a beloved place to call home. Inside, the character is exactly what you hope to find in a home of this era--beautiful hardwood floors, original woodwork and doors, vintage hardware, a brick fireplace and details that simply can't be recreated. The renovated kitchen opens to the dining space, while the thoughtfully remodeled bath blends modern finishes with the home's original charm. The large covered front porch feels like an extension of the living space, and out back, a fenced yard surrounded by mature greenery leads to the detached garage and easy trail access. Upstairs, a large unfinished second floor is ready for its next chapter, with room to create an additional bedroom and bath, home office, studio or whatever fits your vision. Major improvements include a new roof on both the house and garage (2026), remodeled bath (2018), tankless water heater (2018), basement waterproofing with French drain and sump pump (2016), radon mitigation (2015) and furnace (2025). This is more than a great Clintonville house--it's a chance to live tucked away while staying connected to everything that makes the neighborhood special.

About South
Clintonville
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.
