Fantastic investment opportunity thanks to prime proximity to Summa, Akron Children's, the University of Akron, Stark State, Downtown Akron, and major airports. Sitting on a large lot with approximately 10 off-street parking spaces and City of Akron-approved zoning, this property features two detached single-family homes: 585 E Buchtel, the front home, and 583 E Buchtel, the rear home. The front home, built in 1897, was taken to the studs and rebuilt in 2005 with new windows, drywall, plumbing, electrical/lighting, roof, exterior vinyl siding, and full-house insulation, blending historic charm with modern reliability. The rear home, built new in 2005, complements it perfectly. Both homes were designed for smart, low-maintenance living and mirror each other with 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, forced-air heat and central A/C, in-unit laundry with washer/dryer, and well-equipped kitchens featuring a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and disposal. Safety and security are dialed in with hard-wired smoke detectors on each floor and in every bedroom, plug-in CO detectors in each bedroom, a SimpliSafe intrusion system, video doorbells, and parking-lot security lighting. Commuting and campus access are a breeze. The Roo Express bus stop is right across the street, and you're an easy walk to UA and everything Downtown Akron. Purpose-built for student housing and visiting professionals, this is a rare, turnkey setup in a high-demand corridor.
