Description
You could buy a beige box... or you could buy a home that actually has a soul.
Welcome to 297 S James Road, a light-filled 1920s charmer in the heart of Eastmoor that's packed with personality, space, and timeless details you won't find in a new build.
Inside, you'll be greeted by tall ceilings, glowing original hardwood floors, and abundant natural light pouring through oversized windows. The floor plan offers over 1,700 square feet of living space—including a generous living room, a formal dining room with character for days, and three spacious bedrooms upstairs.
Love a home with history but don't want a full reno project? This one's got the perfect blend: classic charm + key updates. The kitchen and bath are fresh and functional, with room to add your own style. Outside, enjoy a big backyard, a detached 2-car garage, and a backyard covered patio that's practically begging for a swing and a cup of coffee.
Located just minutes from downtown Columbus, this home is in an established neighborhood with tree-lined streets, great access to freeways, and tons of potential. FHA/VA financing welcomed.
If you're the kind of buyer who wants warmth, character, and space to grow—without giving up convenience or affordability—this is the one
