1815 Franklin Park Park

About this property

Discover timeless character and an unbeatable location in this circa-1909 all-brick Craftsman, situated directly across from Franklin Park and the historic Caretaker's Cottage. The impressive 28-foot-wide front porch, rebuilt approximately five years ago, overlooks the park and provides the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, a welcoming foyer leads to a spacious living room highlighted by a decorative fireplace. Hardwood floors continue into the bright, south-facing dining room, where five windows, coffered ceilings, and a second decorative fireplace showcase the home's original charm. The updated kitchen blends modern convenience with classic character, featuring granite countertops, newer cabinetry and appliances, a breakfast area, and an adjoining butler's pantry. A half bathroom is conveniently located near the rear entrance. The second floor includes four bedrooms--one featuring a decorative fireplace--along with a full bathroom. An expansive finished third floor adds a flexible 20-by-30-foot living area illuminated by four dormers. This inviting space is well suited for a home office, studio, playroom, or additional family room and includes four storage closets. Major recent improvements include a fully replaced roof and a new furnace, both approximately one year old. A deep, privacy-fenced backyard and two-car garage complete the property. Enjoy easy access to East Market, the Alum Creek Trail, Wolfe Park's tennis courts, and all 88 acres of Franklin Park just outside your front door. The neighboring Franklin Park Conservatory is also preparing for a transformative $35 million renovation of its historic John F. Wolfe Palm House, further enhancing one of Columbus's most treasured cultural and recreational destinations.
