About This Home

Welcome to 56 S Champion: a 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick behemoth in the heart of Olde Towne East. This spacious home blends timeless character with room to grow, featuring beautiful hardwood floors, convenient second-floor laundry, and an unbeatable location just minutes from The East Market, Franklin Park Conservatory, Olde Towne Tavern, Alum Creek Trail, Osteria Pizzeria, and Gemüt Biergarten. Enjoy three outdoor living spaces including a large front porch, a back deck beside a mature magnolia tree, and a refreshed second-floor screened-in porch. There are also 2 off street parking spaces accessible from the backyard for your convenience. Major improvements include a fully updated kitchen with gas range and stainless steel appliances, a completely remodeled primary bathroom, high quality closet systems, new windows on the 2nd and 3rd floors, and a new condenser (2025). The second-floor screened-in porch is currently undergoing a full restoration, and fresh paint and touch-ups will be completed throughout the home following restoration (see attached documentation from Thompson Restoration). This property is approved by the City of Columbus for short-term rental use (up to 12 occupants) and is located just minutes from a rapidly growing Downtown. With this much space and flexibility just minutes from everything Columbus has to offer, the opportunity speaks for itself. Do you like the furniture in the home? It's available for purchase too.
