Description

Welcome to the Louis S. Dudley House! A classic 1920s French Neoclassical (Chateauesque) home designed by architects Good & Wagner, this beautiful West Akron residence is rich in history, timeless character, and architectural charm. Hardwood floors, built-ins, crown molding, and a graceful spiral staircase highlight the craftsmanship of another era. The light-filled living room features oversized windows and a cozy fireplace, while the elegant dining room showcases charming wallpaper and beautiful architectural details. A second living room overlooks the picturesque wooded backyard. The kitchen offers a cozy eat-in area and adjoining flexible space, while a main-floor laundry room, half bath, and additional full bath add convenience. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features an ensuite bath, along with three additional bedrooms and another full bath. A finished third floor provides versatile bonus space, while the basement offers abundant storage. Outside, mature trees, a terraced patio, and two decks create a peaceful setting to relax and entertain. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its character, improvements include a new A/C (2026), remodeled primary bath (2024), updated hall bath (2022), refinished hardwood floors (2020), a professionally maintained slate roof, and driveway resurfacing (2025). A special piece of West Akron history, ready for its next chapter!
