Charming Cape Cod with an extraordinary backyard oasis and smart-home touches in North Columbus! Perfectly located with quick access to 71, 315, and I-270, this home is just minutes from Old Worthington, Clintonville, OSU, and downtown. Steps from Chaseland Park, Salem Elementary, and several nearby parks and playgrounds, it's the kind of neighborhood that just feels like home.. Inside, enjoy 3 bedrooms—including a private upstairs retreat—1 full bath, a spacious eat-in kitchen, finished lower level with office space, and an oversized 2-car garage. The main living room features smart lighting and fan you can control from your phone or smart speaker, adding modern convenience to this cozy space. But it's the backyard that truly sets this home apart. A custom wooden arbor wraps a fire pit patio once home to hanging swings and hammocks. Grape vines growing up posts, and garden beds feature everything from honeycrisp apples to a cold-hardy banana tree. You'll also find a built-in propane grill, pizza oven, garden sink, and a geothermal-heated greenhouse surrounded by vegetables, herbs, and berries. To top it off, permanent color-changing smart lights along the roofline let you set holiday themes, timers, or fun patterns—all from your app. Recent upgrades include a new roof (2021), modern A/C (2021), Pella sliding doors, and Larson storm door. Unique, warm, and full of heart—this one's a must-see!
