Welcome to this historic Brick Beauty in the heart of Kent. Originally built in 1936 by Fred Fuller—renowned local businessman, philanthropist, & first recipient of the Kent Chamber of Commerce’s Kent Medal for Public Service—this timeless brick residence with an expansive front screened porch has been lovingly cared for by just 2 other families since its construction. Offering 3-4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, & exceptional living space, the home blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. Original woodwork remains throughout much of the home, & original oak hardwood flooring can be found in all bedrooms as well as beneath the carpeting in the living & dining rooms. One of the home's most distinctive features is the spacious walk-up attic--a private owner's retreat & potential fourth bedroom, adding 425 SF. This versatile space could also function as a home office, guest suite, hobby room, or living quarters for one unrelated occupant, subject to applicable City of Kent zoning regulations. Recent improvements provide peace of mind & modern convenience, including a complete kitchen renovation in 2023 featuring new cabinetry, countertops, & luxury vinyl plank flooring; a new Carrier® HVAC system installed in 2025; & an updated first-floor bath completed in 2022. Additional major improvements include the roof (2012), electrical service, panel, & wiring updates (2012), PVC sewer line replacement (2013), replacement windows (2012), second-floor bath plumbing updates (2012–2015), first-floor carpeting (2014), storm doors (2010), & garage door replacement (2016). The location is exceptional—just one block from Route 59 & the Kent State University campus, while also within walking distance of downtown Kent's vibrant restaurants, shops, entertainment venues, Riverwalk, & the Portage Hike & Bike Trail.
