Property Description
A rare opportunity with more than one path forward. This move-in-ready one-bedroom cottage offers an efficient, easy-to-maintain footprint in the heart of Merion Village, ideal as a primary residence, city weekend retreat, or furnished rental investment. Extensive renovations were made in 2019, including the kitchen, bath, HVAC, windows, and flooring. A two-car, partially insulated garage with a workroom, shed, fence, and updated electrical were all added in 2020. Beyond the home itself, the 3,484-square-foot lot presents intriguing potential for a tear-down rebuild for future redevelopment or use it as a short-term rental investment property. The current owners have been using it as a short-term rental and can provide the financials. Located just minutes from Schiller Park, German Village, neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and Downtown Columbus, the property pairs everyday convenience with long-term possibility. Live in it, rent it - or explore what could come next.
