129 E Beck St, Columbus, OH 43206

Description

There is nothing quite like living in history, and 129 E Beck Street is a true icon. A quintessential example of Victorian brick vernacular architecture, this residence is known as the Ehrler House. As German Village's most photographed home, it has landed twice on the Haus und Garten Tour, showcased on a Bath & Body Works soap label, and featured in magazines. Originally a saloon in the late 1800s, today it masterfully blends rich craftsmanship with high-end modern living. Meticulous details shine upon entering, from the Brazilian cherry wood floors, soaring ceilings, and plantation shutters, to the original antique fixtures and built-ins placed throughout the home. The main floor flows from a formal parlor outfitted with an intricately detailed slate fireplace, to a library with custom bookshelves, and a marble powder room featuring a handcrafted Franklin Art Glass stained-glass window. The second floor presents open and airy spaces: a well-appointed secondary bedroom with a floor-to-ceiling desk wardrobe, and a primary suite with a full bath tastefully done in marble and complete with a soaking tub that's perfect for unwinding. Walk through to a spacious walk-in closet packed with plenty of shelving. The renovated kitchen is a showstopper with quartz countertops and island, Art Deco crystal chandelier, and SS appliances including a Wolf gas cooktop and double ovens. Tucked behind is a sunlit back entry serving as an intimate breakfast nook with marble floors, a bar with wine storage and beverage fridge, and attractive cabinetry. The full basement provides extra storage. Outside, enjoy a private, award-winning brick patio enclosed by high brick walls and wrought iron fencing featuring an authentic horse-head hitching post. Best of all, you are just a block from Lindey's and a short stroll to Schiller Park. This isn't just another house on the market--it's a rare chance to live inside a piece of Columbus history located in the most desirable neighborhood!
