About 161 E College Ave

Historic charm, incredible character, and an unbeatable Westerville location! Welcome to 161 E College Avenue, a beautifully maintained historic home on a corner lot in the heart of Westerville. Originally a farmhouse associated with Otterbein University, this unique 3-bedroom + den, 2.5-bath home is filled with character, including mostly original hardwood floors and three charming porches surrounding the home. The spacious layout includes a first-floor den that could easily serve as a 4th bedroom, home office, or flex space. The primary suite features a private ensuite bath, and the second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. The outdoor living space is truly special, featuring a gas fire pit and outdoor kitchen with gas grill, mini fridge, and quartz countertop—perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends. The home is offered unfurnished, with a beautiful dining table and chairs included. The basement and garage are temporarily excluded from the lease while they are being cleaned out and organized, with anticipated access in the coming months. Located just minutes from Uptown Westerville, Otterbein University, shops, restaurants, parks, and community amenities, this is a rare opportunity to rent a home with history, charm, space, and an exceptional outdoor setup in one of Westerville's most desirable areas. 3 Bedrooms + Den | 2.5 Baths | Historic Home | Corner Lot | 3 Porches | Outdoor Kitchen & Fire Pit | 2nd-Floor Laundry | Primary Ensuite
