Listing Description

On a crisp fall morning, Seminary Street feels like the kind of place you'd see in an '80s movie: tree-lined, welcoming, and full of old-fashioned charm. You can picture yourself slowing down on the front porch swing with a cup of coffee before heading out to explore the neighborhood.

This century home is in Berea's Garden District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and within walking distance of Baldwin Wallace's Conservatory of Music and Theatre, Mill Stream Run Reservation, Coe Lake, and Berea's town center for coffee, shopping, and dining.

The seasonal farmers market is just a few doors down every Wednesday. Step inside and the warmth continues: high ceilings, a solid wood staircase, an ornate gold chandelier, and a handy hall closet. The living room's red oak floors and wood-burning fireplace make it easy to imagine cozy evenings at home.

A bay-style window and thick crown molding bring character to the flexible space just beyond, perfect for dining, relaxing, or gathering with friends. Nearby, a main-floor bedroom with built-in shelves could also become a welcoming den or office. The cottage-style kitchen has a shiplap ceiling, rearrangeable IKEA cabinetry, an eat-in nook, and a window overlooking the large, private backyard.

A half bath is conveniently tucked just off the kitchen. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. The home has been waterproofed, with a French drain running the full length of the backyard and out to the street. Updates include a brand-new high-efficiency furnace and whole-home humidifier (2026), four new Joyce windows with a

lifetime warranty, newer blinds throughout, a freshly painted exterior, and a complete roof tear-off and replacement about 10 years ago. Full of character, comfort, and a neighborhood you'll love coming home to, this is a special place to make your own-just minutes from the airport. Owner-occupant only; no investors.
