964 Madison Avenue E Unit E, Columbus, OH 43205

Property Description

Stop paying someone else's mortgage. Unit E at The Madison is 1,181 square feet of original 1920s craftsmanship, with in-unit laundry and central air, in one of Olde Towne East's most striking buildings. You come in through a real foyer, with hardwood floors and deep stained trim that carries through the entire unit. The living room is the showpiece: a bank of divided-light windows that fills the room with afternoon sun, and a decorative fireplace with a figured marble surround and original mantel. A separate formal dining room sits between the living room and the kitchen. You do not get that layout in new construction at any price. The galley kitchen is fitted with custom wood cabinetry built floor to ceiling, tile counters, gas cooking, dishwasher, and stainless appliances, plus an antique fold-down table tucked into the wall. The full bath is the original 1920s tile work, preserved rather than torn out. White subway tile with a marble cap, recessed tile niches, hex tile floor, and a deep cast iron tub fitted with a modern rain shower. Two bedrooms, hardwood throughout, crown molding in every room, central air, and in-unit laundry hookups, so no hauling baskets to a shared basement machine. The Madison is one of the finest 1920s buildings in Columbus. Georgian architecture, brick with limestone detail, a columned entry beneath a carved pediment, and interior corridors finished in terrazzo under plaster picture-frame molding. Keypad entry at the unit door. Out back, a brick paver patio and garden. Walk Score of 72 puts coffee, dinner, and errands on foot. Franklin Park Conservatory, Gemüt Biergarten, Upper Cup Coffee, and the Parsons Avenue and Oak Street corridors are all minutes away, with downtown Columbus a short drive. The HOA fee covers water, sewer, insurance, and lawn care, which keeps the monthly number predictable. This is the bridge from renting to owning. Schedule a showing and start building equity.
