About this home
INVESTORS!!! Who's ready to restore a piece of Akron history? Step into a true piece of Akron history, the original Sheldon Farmhouse, built in 1884. This beautiful residence sits on a spacious 0.41-acre lot and offers nearly 2,907 square feet of timeless character and incredible potential. With 6 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, it’s perfect for a large family, multigenerational living, or anyone ready to roll up their sleeves and bring a landmark home back to life. Inside, you’ll find rich natural oak hardwood floors and unpainted oak trim (from an early-20th-century remodel) that flow throughout, creating warmth and authentic charm. A tiled foyer welcomes you into a gracious living room (approx. 20x14) and a formal dining room. Elegant French doors open to sun-drenched solarium, plus a lovely front porch that’s ready for summer evenings. The first-floor Victorian-style full bath is a delightful period detail, and a convenient first-floor bedroom adds flexibility. Upstairs, an open spindled staircase leads to a central hall with five additional bedrooms and another solarium — a classic layout full of light and possibilities. This home has solid bones and wonderful original details, but it does need work — both inside and out. It’s a true diamond in the rough that’s waiting for the right owner to provide some loving updates, cosmetic refreshes, and personal touches to restore its full Victorian elegance. A basement, 2-car detached garage, newer boiler and hot water heater (approx. 2 years old), and central heating and air are already in place to give you a strong starting point. This rare historic opportunity in desirable West Akron is ideal for a visionary buyer, rehabber, or family who appreciates old homes and wants to create something special. If you’re looking for a project with endless character and room to grow, this could be your next chapter. Schedule your showing today and imagine the possibilities in this beautiful slice of Akron heritage!...
