Land with Home for Sale in Akron, Ohio

Built in 1912 by M.S. Long and designed by renowned architects Hagloch & Potter, this once-stately residence is ready for new owners to complete its renovation and restore its historic grandeur. Steeped in history, the home was later owned by Murray Parker-a cowboy, grocer, lawyer, legislator, commissioner, and restauranteur. The first floor showcases original red oak woodwork, fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms, pocket and French doors, and a striking carved staircase. The study was converted to a bedroom with full bath, and additional gathering spaces include a bright east-facing sun porch and a cozy den. The kitchen has been fully gutted, awaiting your custom design. Upstairs, you'll find red gum (eucalyptus) floors, a large owner's suite with fireplace, a secondary ensuite, another bedroom with attached sun porch, plus a family bath, cedar closet, and maid's closet (perfect for future laundry). The third floor offers two bedrooms, a bath, a spacious bonus room, and a linen room with built-ins. The property spans 1.65 acres in a secluded neighborhood near Wallhaven and Highland Square. Seven garages provide ample storage, including two with a roughed-in carriage apartment above. This historic home offers extraordinary potential-bring your vision and make it your own.
