This distinctive three-story Craftsman Revival on over half an acre, is within walking distance to the vibrant Campus and Downtown, as well as peaceful nature parks/trails! Designed by Mariott and Allen Architects, and built in 1908 for John T. Henderson, President of the bygone Oberlin Business College, this 7-bedroom home features a timeless traditional layout and superior craftsmanship throughout.

The entry foyer welcomes you into gracious living and library spaces with leaded windows overlooking the front porch. The south-facing formal dining room, overlooks the rear garden and outdoor patio, and is wonderful for hosting memorable gatherings.
