About This Home

As of August 2026

Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street, this charming two-bedroom, one-bath home offers a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Van Wert. Whether you're settling in for the first time or looking to simplify, this move-in-ready property checks all the right boxes.
Step inside to find freshly updated interiors featuring brand-new carpeting and crisp, fresh paint throughout -- giving the home a clean, welcoming feel from day one. The big-ticket infrastructure work has already been done for you: the home was fully rewired and replumbed in 2000, so you can move in with confidence knowing the bones are solid.
Energy efficiency and low maintenance come courtesy of newer replacement windows that help keep utility costs in check, while the 15-year-old metal roof means you won't be worrying about overhead expenses for years to come.
Outside, the dead-end setting means minimal through traffic and the kind of quiet that's increasingly hard to find -- perfect for relaxing evenings on the porch or simply enjoying a neighborhood where you can hear yourself think.
Competitively priced and full of updates, 218 Darwin St is ready to welcome its next owner. Schedule your private showing today and come see what peaceful living looks like.
