What This Condo Offers

Welcome to 2881 Observatory Ave, Unit #2 — a stunning 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence offering an impressive 1,800 square feet of living space in one of... Cincinnati's most prestigious and walkable neighborhoods: Hyde Park.

The Location — This is What You're Really Paying For: Observatory Avenue is the address people dream about. You're in the heart of Hyde Park — Cincinnati's crown jewel of walkability, charm, and community. Step outside and you're minutes from Hyde Park Square's boutique shopping, award-winning restaurants, local coffee shops, and farmers markets. Ault Park is just down the road, offering 223 acres of gardens, walking trails, and panoramic views of the Little Miami River Valley.

Beyond the immediate neighborhood, you're close to Oakley Station's retail and dining scene, easy highway access to downtown Cincinnati, and surrounded by some of the highest-rated schools in Ohio. This is the kind of location where you can walk to dinner on a Tuesday night, grab weekend brunch at a local café, or spend Sunday mornings strolling through the park. Hyde Park isn't just a neighborhood — it's a lifestyle.

The Unit: Built in 1911, this beautifully preserved multi-family home blends historic architectural character with modern convenience. Unit #2 offers a rare and spacious layout with 2 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms spread across 1,800 square feet — exceptional space and privacy you won't find in typical rentals. The voluminous rooms showcase original architectural details, high ceilings, and thoughtful design that honors the home's heritage while providing all the functionality today's renters expect.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with a stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. The washer and dryer are on-site for convenient laundry. Boiler heating and forced air cooling keep you comfortable year-round. Off-street parking is included — a huge benefit in this highly sought-after area.

The Property: Situated on a generous 6,882 square foot lot, this historic home harmonizes urban amenities with suburban comfort. You get the energy and walkability of a city living with the breathing room and charm of a residential street.
