About This Home
As of September 2025A remarkable piece of Columbus history, this distinguished home—listed on the National Register of Historic Places—offers timeless elegance blended with modern comforts. Built in 1895 by Rufus Jones and once home to notable Columbus figures such as the late Ethel Nordhausen and Warren Foley, the property is set on beautifully landscaped grounds, where celebrated designer P. Allen Smith contributed to the garden design. Step inside to soaring 14-foot ceilings, original heart pine floors, and elaborate millwork that speaks to the craftsmanship of another era. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath main house spans over 4,500 square feet, with the owner's suite and an additional guest room and bath thoughtfully located on the main floor. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a shared bath offer warm, inviting spaces filled with character and light. The outdoor areas are nothing short of enchanting. A gunite saltwater pool with flagstone coping and an expansive pool deck creates a private oasis, complete with its own dedicated half bath for added convenience. Hardy plank siding covers the entire home, blending durability while retaining the original classic charm. A two-car carport sits just off the side entrance. Beyond the garden is a 720 sq ft guest cottage—once a functioning windmill. Today, it stands as a charming retreat or income-producing accessory unit, featuring two bedrooms, a remodeled bath & wood-burning fireplace. Situated along the former Belt Line trolley route—a 7-mile loop that once carried passengers between downtown Columbus, Lakebottom Park, and Wynnton School—this home offers a rare opportunity to own a true architectural jewel where history and refinement meet.
