Classic 3-Bedroom Bungalow on a 5,000 SF Lot in Collinwood
858 East 143rd Street is a classic Cleveland bungalow offering 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms across approximately 1,400 square feet. Built in 1940, the two-story, wood-frame home sits on a level 5,000-square-foot lot in the Collinwood neighborhood. The property is owner-occupied and presents a straightforward layout suited to small families or a buyer seeking an entry into this established residential area.
The house has documented updates that reduce near-term capital needs: a new roof and new windows installed in 2020. Systems include forced-air heating; the property does not have central cooling. The basement is unfinished, and there is no garage, but driveway parking is available for about two vehicles. The overall condition is listed as average, reflecting a maintained home with opportunities for selective modernization.
Financial and valuation details in the research record show a 2025 assessed value of $100,000 and an estimated market valuation range of $120,000 to $140,000 (midpoint $130,000). Annual property tax recorded for 2025 is $1,800. Market-context data describe a balanced local market with roughly 3.5 months of inventory and average days on market near 30; longer-term appreciation is noted at about 12% over five years with an annual rate near 3%.
Location is a notable strength: the home is approximately 1.5 miles from Euclid Creek Reservation and within 4–4.5 miles of major institutional anchors such as University Circle and the Cleveland Clinic. Collinwood’s schools are served by the Cleveland Metropolitan School District, with local school ratings recorded in the research notes. Recommended next steps include confirming lot dimensions in official records, performing an on-site inspection for maintenance needs, and verifying school assignments and ratings prior to any purchase decision.
