Historic charm, incredible character, and an unbeatable Westerville location! Welcome to 161 E College Avenue, a beautifully maintained historic home on a corner lot in the heart of Westerville. Originally a farmhouse associated with Otterbein University, this unique 3-bedroom + den, 2.5-bath home is filled with character, including mostly original hardwood floors and three charming porches surrounding the home. The spacious layout includes a first-floor den that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, home office, or flex space. The primary suite features a private ensuite bath, and the second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. The outdoor living space is truly special, featuring a gas fire pit and outdoor kitchen with gas grill, mini fridge, and quartz countertop—perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends.
