Property Description

Own a true piece of American history! The John Mercer Langston House (c. 1856) is a designated National Historic Landmark, and offers today's buyer an opportunity to allow the roots of the past to nourish the dreams and visions of the future! Homes of this significance rarely come to market, and this one is ready for its next chapter. Soaring ceilings, arched doorways, decorative crown molding, built-ins and other remaining original elements make this home unlike any other. Boasting almost 3000 square feet, this 5 bedroom, 3 full bath home has 2 spacious parlors that would be the pride and delight of any host as gracious rooms lend themselves to entertaining, from intimate dinners to larger gatherings. The counter space and cabinetry in the kitchen are abundant as the eat-in kitchen holds room for many generations to create and execute passed down family recipes. Upstairs can be accessed from the main floor or via a separate entrance which creates exciting flexibility for the new owner: a private apartment, guest quarters, in-law suite, or potential rental income. The opportunities overflow to the outside as this parcel has plenty of green yard space in addition to a large 2 car attached garage and a “carriage house” in back. All of this within walking distance of Oberlin College and downtown Oberlin's dining, shopping, and entertainment. Preservationists, history enthusiasts, educators, investors and all who value leaving a legacy will especially appreciate this extraordinary opportunity to steward one of Ohio's most meaningful homes. While the home needs TLC and restoration, in return it gives you a priceless and rare chance to own and revive a piece of American history. Schedule your tour today!
