Historic 4-Bedroom Home on a Generous Olde Towne Lot
This late-19th-century residence, built in 1893, sits on a deep 0.204-acre lot in Toledo’s Olde Towne neighborhood. The two-story, wood-frame home provides approximately 1,742 square feet of living space arranged across four bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The property retains original hardwood floors and presents an unfinished basement that offers clear potential for added living area or storage. A standard residential driveway and an attached garage provide on-site parking for two vehicles.
The site is level with roughly 50 feet of frontage on Machen Street and typical setbacks consistent with RS6 zoning. Exterior details documented include an asphalt shingle roof and wood-frame construction; heating is hot-water based and there is no central air documented. The house is described in average condition in source records, indicating that targeted updates and systems assessments would be practical first steps for a buyer or investor.
Interior and service notes highlight an unfinished basement and original flooring as character attributes that may appeal to those seeking to preserve historic detail while modernizing utilities and finishes. The property record lists 1,742 gross building square feet, two stories, and an attached garage. Recommended verifications from the audit include confirming lot boundaries, checking renovation permits, and assessing roof and HVAC condition before any renovation or financing decisions.
Positioned near several cultural and civic anchors, the home offers a neighborhood context rich with historic fabric and local institutions. Olde Towne’s proximity to schools and the Toledo Museum of Art provides lifestyle and location advantages for occupants. The listing and public records indicate owner-occupied status; prospective buyers and advisors should respect occupancy signals and complete a professional inspection and title review prior to making offers or plans.
Taken together, the property reads as a historic single-family home with practical renovation potential, a substantial lot in an established neighborhood, and on-site parking. Those considering this address should plan inspections focused on mechanical systems and permitted renovations, while weighing the costs and benefits of conserving original features versus modern upgrades.
