Property Description
THIS could be THE PLACE! Have you dreamt of getting out to the country? Then this house just might be IT! Situated in the heart of Kipton, and just moments to the Lorain Co Bike Trail, this Civil War era home has both the history and updates to make it the perfect combination of old and new. This charming all brick, slate roof, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home is waiting for its next chapter. As you drive up you will note the welcoming, covered front porch with original door! As you walk in the front door the newer vinyl plank flooring blends perfectly with some exposed brick and the original staircase, and you are led trough the entry hall into the open kitchen/dining/living room space. Notice the all-new appliances and a nice sized island! A half bath is tucked in the dining area for great convenience! And the space opens to the freshly painted living room with floor to ceiling French door style window coverings and a brand-new ceiling fan!! But there is still more, the laundry/mudroom is at the rear of the kitchen for ultimate convenience and it leads to the covered back porch for ease of grocery unloading! Heading upstairs you will notice a French country style wall with “peeks” of brick showing through, adding to the charm of the home. Upstairs has also been freshly painted and holds a newer renovated bath (2019), 2 bedrooms, and a quaint reading nook! The cellar has exterior and interior access, and holds the homes mechanicals (hot water tank, furnace, electric panel) and offers some great storage space!! As you head outside don’t be surprised if a chick runs by, or a rooster greets you! A new carport has been added to provide easy cover for your vehicles and allows the garage space to be a workshop and storage area. The rear of the property is the old Kipton fire station and town hall!! Updates: newly painted (’26), kitchen appliances (’26), carport (‘24), furnace, HWT, electric box and wiring, windows (2019). Easy to show or stop by the open house on Sat 9/5/26!!
