Overview

Description

A rare opportunity to own one of Victorian Village's most iconic residences, the famed ''Conklin Mansion'' on prestigious Neil Avenue. Built in 1897, this remarkable pressed brick estate with elegant stone trimmings and a timeless slate roof blends extraordinary historic character with modern livability across 4,496 square feet. Lovingly maintained and meticulously cared for, this architectural treasure offers 5 bedrooms and 5 full bathrooms, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the first and second floors and 9-foot ceilings on the third, creating an atmosphere of scale and grandeur rarely found today. Stunning original woodwork, exquisite cast plaster moldings, ceiling medallions, and beautifully functioning pocket doors showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features a desirable first-floor laundry and an exceptional third level complete with an expansive ballroom, charming turret room, home office, and an additional bedroom featuring a full en-suite bath and walk-in closet--ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or creative flex space. One of only a select few homes on Neil Avenue to offer a private driveway, the property is further enhanced by a newer electronic gate leading to a professionally landscaped backyard and abundant off-street parking--an exceptional amenity in the heart of Victorian Village. Perfectly positioned near The Ohio State University, the Arena District, Short North Arts District, and Downtown Columbus, this extraordinary residence offers unmatched convenience to dining, entertainment, culture, and commerce. Whether envisioned as a distinguished family residence, an entertainer's dream home, or a boutique hospitality opportunity, the possibilities are exceptional. A previous owner successfully operated the property as a bed & breakfast, presenting unique income potential for the next steward of this historic Columbus landmark.
