Don’t miss the opportunity to make this one-of-a-kind property your own—just two blocks from Westover Village! This charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial sits on a spacious 0.21-acre corner lot and is known throughout the neighborhood for the iconic whale perched above the one-car garage. The seller, a Texas-born metal artist, has infused the property with distinctive custom touches and Western-inspired character throughout. ***Please note: none of the metal artwork conveys.*** A custom ranch-style entry gate, featuring a handle crafted from a 1937 Studebaker hood ornament, welcomes you into a private outdoor retreat. Designed for entertaining, the fully fenced backyard offers multiple patios, including a large brick patio covered by a handcrafted weathered corrugated metal roof. A lower patio overlooks the expansive yard, complete with a large kayak shed and three additional storage sheds that continue the property’s unique Western aesthetic. The detached garage is accessible through a side door near the rear entrance to the home and from sliding barn door from the covered patio. The garage features tons of storage shelving and a 100-amp electrical panel capable of supporting an EV charger. There is space for 2 additional cars on the driveway which is accessed from N Ohio St. The beautifully landscaped, wide front yard is highlighted by mature trees where you can sit in the shade on the inviting metal bench. The exterior has been recently painted. Enter from the rear patio into a versatile space that can serve as a mudroom, office, or perhaps a den. Hardwood floors run throughout the main level, where a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. The bright dining room features windows on two sides with views of the backyard. The kitchen offers gas cooking, a front-facing window, and a side door with direct access to the yard—ready for your personal updates and vision. The lower level provides a cozy second living area or possible 3rd bedroom with a gas fireplace, built ins and second refrigerator, as well as a full bath, separate laundry room, large storage room and walkout stairs to the backyard.
