What This House Offers
Over 2,000 square feet of beautifully refreshed living space in a classic Akron Colonial and it shows. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch,... this home makes a statement: character-filled, thoughtfully updated, and move-in ready.
Inside, bright and open living areas flow effortlessly from room to room, anchored by a stunning decorative fireplace that brings warmth and personality to the main level. Fresh flooring and natural light throughout give every space an airy, refreshed feel the kind of home that just feels good to be in.
The kitchen delivers on function with modern finishes and generous cabinet space, while two full bathrooms mean no compromises for families or roommates. Four bedrooms offer comfortable, private retreats each with a clean, updated finish that feels anything but cookie-cutter.
The full basement adds serious bonus potential: storage, a workshop, or future living space. Out back, a detached garage and a spacious yard give you room to breathe, while the charming front porch is the perfect place to start and end your day.
And the details that make life easier? All here: a smart lock, smart thermostat, and a pet-friendly setup that makes settling in simple. Homes like this don't last. 686 East Ave, Akron, OH 44320
