The Schlee Malt House is a late-19th/early-20th-century adaptive-reuse residential building in Columbus’s Brewery District, originally constructed in 1900 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The structure contains a mix of true one-bedroom condos and multi-level loft residences characterized by high ceilings, exposed brick walls, original timber beams, arched industrial windows, and large open living areas. Units commonly feature hardwood floors, updated kitchens with granite or black countertops and modern appliances, in-unit laundry, renovated baths, and recent mechanical upgrades such as new HVAC and water heaters. The building offers secure access with a gated parking lot and assigned spaces, an outdoor courtyard/patio with grilling and a hot tub nearby, and elevator service for upper levels. Common systems include a building security/intercom system and some water-filtration and utility upgrades; storage is limited but certain units have private crawl or utility spaces. Located steps from Bicentennial Park, Columbus Commons, the Scioto Mile and trails, the property places residents within walking distance of restaurants, breweries, grocery options and cultural venues in downtown Columbus and adjacent German Village. Pet policies are generally permissive across listings. Overall the Schlee Malt House blends preserved industrial character with modern finishes and practical urban conveniences.
