About This Home

As of October 2025

Online public real estate auction, the minimum bid is $500,000.00. Bidding takes place on the auction website. This auction begins to end at 7:30 PM, Tuesday September 16th, 2025. Agents, please see 'A2A' for auction terms and conditions. A Rare Opportunity: Prime Land on a Half-Acre Lot in Marble Cliff An extraordinary opportunity awaits at 1956 Bluff Ave. This property, situated on a rare and highly sought-after half-acre lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The existing 1,728 sq. ft. ranch home, built in 1955, features 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a two-car attached garage. It includes a full basement, a cozy fireplace, and a charming three-season room. While the house is in need of maintenance and contains many original details, its greatest value lies in the expansive and private lot it occupies. This is a developer's dream and a homeowner's perfect canvas. Whether you choose to renovate the classic ranch or build a brand-new custom residence, the generous lot size provides a fantastic sense of space and seclusion rarely found in this area. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a peaceful, established neighborhood with easy access to all the amenities, dining, and parks of Grandview Heights and downtown Columbus.
