Welcome to Westgate! Picture it - lounging in your cosy living room overlooking the park, with a real wood fire in the fireplace. Or maybe hosting family and friends from the beautifully updated kitchen, with built in seating for you and your guests. The finished basement space is perfect for game days and nights, whether you prefer a tv screen or playing board. A first floor bedroom and full bath make life easier, whether it's for you or your guests. Then there is the professionally landscaped and fully fenced back yard, with its custom Westgate green gate to enjoy. Or get out on the 1.1 mile walking path around the park, or the various park amenities, which include tennis courts, basketball courts, and brand new outdoor racquetball and pickleball courts. The Sellers have loved this house and neighborhood and are passing along all the exceptional care and maintenance they've done over the years to whoever is lucky enough to be the next owner - maybe that's you! Ask your agent for the full list of updates, because it is long!

About
Westgate
Westgate, located between West Broad Street and Sullivant Avenue, is a residential and park-centered Columbus neighborhood with brick Tudors and a curving boulevard layout. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Westgate Park and Westgate Recreation Center campus, where ballfields, playground energy, and community programming set the daily rhythm. Side streets show 1920s–1940s houses with deep setbacks, mature trees, and tidy porches that frame evening walks. Westgate Park anchors the geography with open lawns and courts, while the Westgate Farmers Market adds a seasonal, local ritual. Along West Broad Street, small storefronts and long-time eateries give the area its practical, lived-in feel. The result is a grounded pocket of the West Side defined by green space, classic architecture, and a steady neighborhood cadence.
