INVESTORS!!! Who's ready to restore a piece of Akron history? Step into a true piece of Akron history, the original Sheldon Farmhouse, built in 1884. This beautiful residence sits on a spacious 0.41-acre lot and offers nearly 2,907 square feet of timeless character and incredible potential. With 6 generously sized… Read More bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, it’s perfect for a large family, multigenerational living, or anyone ready to roll up their sleeves and bring a landmark home back to life. Inside, you’ll find rich natural oak hardwood floors and unpainted oak trim (from an early-20th-century remodel) that flow throughout, creating warmth and authentic charm. A tiled foyer welcomes you into a gracious living room (approx. 20x14) and a formal dining room. Elegant French doors open to sun-drenched solarium, plus a lovely front porch that’s ready for summer evenings. The first-floor Victorian-style full bath is a delightful period detail, and a convenient first-floor bedroom adds flexibility. Upstairs, an open spindled staircase leads to a central hall with five additional bedrooms and another solarium — a classic layout full of light and possibilities. This home has solid bones and wonderful original details, but it does need work — both inside and out. It’s a true diamond in the rough that’s waiting for the right owner to provide some loving updates, cosmetic refreshes, and personal touches to restore its full Victorian elegance. A basement, 2-car detached garage, newer boiler and hot water heater (approx. 2 years old), and central heating and air are already in place to give you a strong starting point. This rare historic opportunity in desirable West Akron is ideal for a visionary buyer, rehabber, or family who appreciates old homes and wants to create something special. If you’re looking for a project with endless character and room to grow, this could be your next chapter. Schedule your showing today and imagine the possibilities in this beautiful slice of Akron heritage! Read Less
