About This Home
Welcome to this charming property, with a fascinating history dating back to the 1800s, known as the old Porter House. It has been beautifully restored. With its unique zoning for both business and residential use, this is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the revitalization happening in Lorain. Whether you envision a cozy steakhouse, a stylish attorney's office, a retail shop, or a family home, the possibilities are endless.
For a residence, you can have a first-floor master with a walk-in closet and a half bath. Or use this space as an office/retail space with its own entrance.
The living room features stunning 19-foot ceilings, accented with wood details that flow seamlessly through the living room, dining area, and kitchen—truly the heart of this home. The exposed brick chimney adds a delightful touch of character.
The kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring a spectacular gas-fired Garland commercial range with two ovens, six burners, a 24-inch grill, and a broiler, all topped off with a commercial ventilation hood. Plus, there's a custom stainless steel rack for all your pots and pans! Head upstairs to find the spacious loft which overlooks the living room. There are also two full baths, and the two bedrooms boast two large closets. You'll enjoy relaxing in the enclosed patio off the kitchen, and there’s plenty of yard space, along with a detached two-car garage.
