Charming Estate Sale on State Route 59 – Ravenna, Ohio
Here's your chance to put your own stamp on a piece of Ravenna history. Built in 1885, this spacious 1,934 sq. ft. home offers 3 bedrooms, a full bath, a large covered front porch, and an enclosed side porch. Just off the living room, you'll find a bonus room perfect for a home office. The basement has been waterproofed, adding peace of mind below the main living space. A 612 sq. ft. garage rounds out the almost 0.6-acre lot, giving you plenty of room to spread out, garden, or entertain.
Being sold as-is through an estate, this property is a great opportunity for a buyer ready to bring some vision and sweat equity — whether you're looking to restore its original character, modernize the systems, or explore its flexible layout, including additional living space upstairs (buyer to verify zoning, permits, and intended use with Ravenna Township and Portage County). The property is located in an area zoned commercial/residential, opening the door to a range of possible uses — buyer to verify with the township for specifics.
Location is a big part of the appeal here. Ravenna offers small-town charm with easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, plus a straightforward commute to Akron, Kent, and the broader Northeast Ohio job market. Outdoor lovers will appreciate nearby parks, trails, and the area's mix of open countryside and established neighborhoods, while commuters benefit from convenient access to major routes connecting the region.
This is a rare opportunity to invest in a home with real bones, a flexible floor plan, and a location that balances quiet, small-town living with convenient access to the wider Akron/Kent area. Bring your ideas — this one is ready for its next chapter.
Sold as-is. Buyer to complete all inspections and verify permits/zoning to their satisfaction.
