About This Home

As of June 2026

Welcome to this charming Colonial in the desirable Clearview School District, located on a peaceful dead-end street in Lorain. This three-bedroom, two-full-bath home offers a warm and inviting layout with both full bathrooms conveniently located on the main level. As you step in through the back door, you're welcomed by a spacious family room featuring a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen offers ample counter and cabinet space, flowing nicely into a generously sized dining room and living room ready for your personal touch. While some cosmetic updates are needed, this home presents a fantastic opportunity to restore its charm and make it your own. Upstairs, you'll find all three bedrooms, providing a functional and private layout. An additional attic space offers potential for a fourth bedroom, office, or extra storage. The unfinished basement gives you even more room for storage or future finishing possibilities. Major updates include a new furnace (January 2026) and hot water tank (2025), giving peace of mind for years to come. Outside, enjoy the convenience of a oversized 2 car garage, ideal for vehicles, tools, or hobby space. Don't miss your chance to own in a sought-after area with so much potential!
