232 Elm Street | Oberlin

$399,000 | 5 Beds | 3 Baths (2 Full, 1 Half) | 2,792 Sq. Ft.

Unlike anything else in Oberlin. This New England-style century home with shingled fa\u00E7ade, massive stone chimney, a welcoming porch with graceful arched openings, set a timeless tone, while a broad gabled roof punctuated by dormers hints at the expanses within. Step from the stone steps onto the breezy porch, then into a warm inviting foyer where the sculpted staircase rises in gentle curve and a windowed landing pours in soft light\u2014an everyday reading perch in the heart of the home. Beyond French doors, the living room runs the full width of the house, wrapped in windows for sun-splashed mornings and golden afternoons. Throughout the first floor, original oak floors, exquisite millwork, built-in china cabinets in the dining room, and a stone-carved fireplace mantel create that rare blend of craftsmanship and comfort. The large eat-in kitchen overlooks the backyard and features a handy side entrance plus a pantry. A welcoming den and flexible first-floor guest room/library, along with a half bath and back staircase, make daily living effortless. Upstairs, oak floors pair with painted woodwork for a calm, airy feel. You\u2019ll find five bedrooms and two full baths, including an expansive, elegant primary suite with two generous walk-in closets. Just off the luminous landing, a charming nursery-style bedroom offers an ideal sleep space, studio, or reading room. Practical touches keep everything easy: lower-level laundry with sink, washer \u0026 dryer; abundant storage in the basement, walk-up attic, and plentiful closets\u2014including a walk-in hall linen closet on the second floor. Thoughtful updates include a 2024 roof, newer electrical panels, boiler, and a high-efficiency water heater. Out back, the property unfolds into an absolutely beautiful, private yard with a large stone patio for alfresco dinners, established plantings and mature trees, and\u2014at the very rear\u2014a small woodland-like garden that feels worlds away. A two-car garage completes this rare Oberlin estate. MLSNow 5159720 Directions to property: From 58 or Main St. Take West College to Cedar, south to Elm, right on Elm, and the house is on your right, the north side of the street.
