Overview
This is a fully renovated single-family home in the Weinland Park neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio, updated in 2020 with modern HVAC, window treatments, and mechanicals throughout. Situated close to Short North Arts District and Ohio State University, the property offers a quiet, private setting in the evenings while remaining walkable, scooter-, or Uber-accessible to major attractions. A strict no-party, no-smoking, no-pet policy and a 10PM noise curfew keep the atmosphere calm for guests and neighbors alike.
Rooms & Entertainment
The home features a TV room with a sturdy L-sectional couch, a wall-mounted television with Roku and high-speed internet for streaming, plus a separate living room with a vintage reading couch. Entertainment options include a vintage Pac-Man arcade, giant floor checkers, a retro Connect 4 game, a vinyl record player with Bluetooth speaker and assorted records, and instruments including a guitar, tambourine, and cowbell. A dedicated desk with lamp and chair suits remote workers, and USB/110V charging is built into bedroom and office lamps.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen is outfitted with modern cooking essentials, including an oven/stove, microwave, and a Keurig coffee maker with K-Cups, though guests must supply their own groceries. A dining area with table and chairs accommodates in-home meals, and a chalkboard wall adds a personal touch for guests to leave notes.
Outdoor Space
The rear patio and fenced-in backyard include outdoor seating, dusk-to-dawn string lights, and a fire pit (guests must supply their own wood, available at local stores), making the outdoor area a highlight for evening relaxation or family time.
Location & Surroundings
The home sits roughly 0.8 miles from Ohio State University, 0.9 miles from the Short North Arts District, 0.7 miles from the Ohio Expo Center & State Fair, and 2 miles from the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Multiple bus stops are within a few hundred meters, including one just 114 meters away, and dining options like Oldfield's North Fourth Tavern, Seventh Son Brewing Co., Ethyl & Tank, and Fourth Street Taproom & Kitchen are all within a mile.
Best for
This property suits families, small groups, and remote workers who want a private, home-like base near OSU and Short North without sacrificing quiet evenings.

Travel tips
Free off-street parking (2 spaces) plus free street parking out front makes arriving by car easy, and several bus stops within a few hundred meters offer an alternative to driving into Short North or OSU. Plan to walk, scooter, or rideshare the under-1-mile distance to Short North Arts District and OSU campus rather than drive, and note the 10PM noise curfew when planning evening activities. If using the backyard fire pit, pick up firewood locally in advance since none is provided.
