410 N Franklin St, Delaware, OH 43015

Description

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Delaware history! Built in 1865, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates and modern conveniences. Original wide plank black walnut floors and doors, a one-of-a-kind rare tiger wood fiddleback staircase railing (one of two in Delaware), and a wood-burning fireplace showcase the charm of this historic home.

The kitchen features a large center island, stainless steel appliances, new flooring, and butcher block countertops(2026) for all your cooking needs in the newly renovated kitchen (2025). The first floor offers two bedrooms, a full bath with a refinished antique clawfoot tub, and convenient laundry. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a private bath and partial walk-in attic for additional storage or a secret hideaway.

Outside, the double lot is truly special, with terraced raised-bed gardens(2021), grapevines(2022), dwarf fruit trees(2023), tiered herb garden with retaining walls (2023), covered and open patio spaces, a designer gas firepit(2021), and a gazebo. The walk-out lower level provides additional recreation and workout space, and the tandem two-car garage/workshop offers plenty of room for projects and storage. A home with this much history, character, and lovingly maintained space is a rare find! Pair this with no restrictions on improvements or upgrades due to not being on the historic registry and it becomes a homeowner's dream! Two parcels make up this gorgeous property.

Recent improvements include a new main roof(2025) and water heater in 2026, HVAC replaced in 2017, fresh paint(2021-2026), refinished surfaces, new smoke alarms (2026), front porch repair and railings (2025), radon mitigation (2021), security camera system (2021), new garage door cables/pulleys/seal (2026) and more!
