Built in 1917, this two-story residence in Toledo’s Old West End offers an opportunity to restore historic character while adding modern comforts. The property contains 1,673 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and one bathroom, original wood flooring, a full unfinished basement and a working fireplace. The wood-frame construction sits on a 2,900 square-foot lot with approximately 35 feet of frontage on Lowell Drive and a single-car attached garage.
Public records and compiled research indicate the house is currently vacant. Utilities are municipal water and sewer with Columbia Gas of Ohio and electricity from Toledo Edison. The heating system is forced-air gas; there is no documented cooling system. The roof is documented as shake/shingle and the home retains many period features that could be emphasized during renovation.
From a land-use perspective the parcel is zoned 10-RD6 (Duplex Residential District), which lists single-family and duplex among allowed uses. That zoning, combined with the property’s footprint and full basement, opens multiple capital improvement paths: a renovation for resale, a rental conversion, or modest modernization while preserving historic details. Recent vacancy signals and an estimated monthly rent of roughly $800 (about $0.48/ft2) suggest local rental demand that may support an investor strategy.
Neighborhood context is a key attribute: the house sits within walking distance of cultural anchors and urban amenities, with the Toledo Museum of Art about 1.2 miles away and Ottawa Park roughly 1.5 miles. Market data for the area show a buyer-favored environment with roughly three months of inventory and an average days-on-market near 42 days. Comparable sales and rentals in the immediate area over the last six months were used to profile value and rental expectations; buyers should verify condition, title, and scope of renovations with on-site inspections and primary records before pursuing acquisition.
