Residential For Sale - 12 Rooms - 4 Bedrooms - 3 Bathrooms - Price $625,000

This home was designed in 1951 by architect Alfeo Martina as his personal residence. His family owned Martina Mosaic & Tile co, now known as Martina Brothers Co, Inc, which explains the full tile walls in the bathrooms, and the generous use of slate, stone & terrazzo throughout.
Gracious foyer features these insanely beautiful slate floors, done by the Martina Mosaic Co. Martina Mosaic also did installations at Carew Tower, Netherland Hotel and Union Terminal. This home is a real slice of Cincinnati history!
Main level Den/Office/Family Room/5th bedroom? Whatever you need it to be! Room features the same slate floors as the foyer, wood burning fireplace (one of 3 in the home) on a full brick wall, and modern corner window detail.
Fantastic HUGE main level 3 season sunroom with panoramic views from Pella Windows! Note the terrazzo floors and ceiling fans - it's the Cincinnati version of a lanai! Need more space year round? Just pop in an HVAC unit and you are all set! Room also is hard plumbed with a gas line.
Centerpiece of the kitchen is this OG to the house Fridigaire Flair range - still going strong 60 some odd years later! Look familiar? It's the same stove used by Samantha on Bewitched!
Large main floor master bedroom. And of course, notice the beautiful Pella casement windows. Perfect upgrade to this gracious vintage home.
the tub in this primary bathroom was replaced with a zero entry walk in shower. Again, note the floor to ceiling tile walls!
The third bedroom on the second floor (4th bedroom overall) is this huge space with access to the walk in attic. It has a mini split HVAC system for an extra boost to the whole house HVAC.
Walk in cedar closet in the upstairs hallway!
Lower level Family Room is another groovy gathering space and features more of those amazing terrazzo floors, another wood burning fireplace, and a large bar for entertaining. Beyond the bar is the door to the garage. Even the garage features an extra storage area.
lower level FULL bath!
Laundry/Craft/Storage room with walkout to the driveway and back yard.
In addition to the two car garage (with attached workshop/storage room), there is so much additional parking/play/party space!
The entire yard to the right of the driveway in this picture is part of this property and makes for excellent additional off street parking for large gatherings.
Lovely, graceful setting in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood - right in the heart of it all! We recently got this lovely note from one of the original occupants: "it was with great sense of pride and joy that I viewed the house that my father Alfeo J. Martina designed and built. I moved to the house when I was just about 3 years old and stayed there till I was 8 or 9. I remember that all the other houses in the neighborhood looked just old compared to our home. Certainly, in 2024 that house has withstood the test of time...it is timeless. Again, what a joy to go thru the rooms and remember back in the early 50's where our Christmas Tree was, and where we played.....and so many more memories." Talk about good juju!
