Picture starting your mornings in a home where every detail feels intentional, from the warmth of beautifully refinished hardwood floors to a kitchen that looks anything but builder-basic. Spend evenings gathered around the custom fireplace, entertain downstairs at the wet bar, or step onto the new back porch and enjoy a fully fenced yard that gives you just enough outdoor space without the upkeep of an oversized lot. Welcome to 538 S. Ashburton Rd. -- a fully remodeled 5-bedroom, 2-bath Cape Cod offering approximately 1,671 square feet and a level of finish rarely found at this price point. The kitchen sets the tone with crisp white upper cabinetry, white oak shaker lowers, high-end quartz countertops, and a customized look that gives the home warmth and personality. Four bedrooms are above grade, including one currently staged as an office, while the partially finished lower level adds a fifth bedroom/rec space and wet bar for even more flexibility. And this renovation goes well beyond what you see. Major improvements include updated windows, A/C, plumbing and drain lines, water heater, electrical system, driveway, landscaping, porch, privacy fence, and more, along with a newer furnace and roof. Offered at $249,900, this is an opportunity to get five bedrooms, elevated finishes, updated mechanicals, and true move-in-ready living without settling for another white-on-white renovation. Open House Saturday 12-2 PM and Sunday 4-5 PM. The work is done. The personality is already here. All that's left is to move in and make it yours!

About
Mayfair
Mayfair, located between East Broad Street and East Main Street, is a residential and commuter Columbus neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Broad Street corridor near the I-270 interchange, where auto shops, small eateries, and everyday services set a practical, on-the-go tone. Housing leans toward brick one-stories and tidy postwar builds with generous setbacks and driveways. Green space and recreation orbit nearby at Blacklick Woods Metro Park and the Blacklick Creek Greenway Trail. Cultural anchors sit close by, including the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and the historic Lincoln Theatre. Daily errands and casual dining cluster at Easton Town Center a short drive north.
