Searching for unique ideas to put into your own home? This home has many unique features to share and maybe a surprise too.
We have this lovely cottage to share with you today located at 747 City Park Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43206. You guessed it, this home is located in German Village. We have shared several homes in this area, this one is a bit different than my normal perusals, but I promise it will not disappoint either.
From the street, one would think this home is teeny tiny, but it packs a lot of punch and comes in at a whopping 2,650 square feet! Much bigger than I was expecting at first glance. I think this is why I love this area so much, you just never know what you will find, haha, kind of like our blog. Who wants to be predictable all of the time?
Cleaning a turkey for Thanksgiving may prove to be difficult in that smallish sink. I am glad there is plenty of lighting so I can see what I am cooking in the kitchen though.
When we moved into our cottage, there was one overhead light. They had put up a plastic light under one of the cabinets that plugged into the wall, yuck! It came down when we moved in. Can you believe they even stuck a push pin through the wire so they could keep the wire from hanging down? Yikes!
I have a feeling we will be seeing more exposed brick in this home. I have to say that is a feature I have fallen in love with when I look at homes. It just says home to me.
I hope to expose the brick around our fireplace one of these days when I have a free moment... well, if I wait for that, it may never happen. Now you have me worried it may never happen! Oh no, I think I really want that in our living room...
Is it weird I think this would make the coolest bedroom? LOL. A bar in your bedroom? Oh why not... I love those stone walls... it kind of puts me in the mind of castle walls, and so it made me think of bedrooms, you know, because those two things go hand in hand... seriously, you never know where my brain will go.
In all honesty, I think I would maybe make this a family room. It would be nice to have a microwave down here to make popcorn and snuggle up and watch a good scary movie for upcoming Halloween!
It does not deter me from this home though, and I love the actual bar too. I have thought about something similar in our basement. You know, the project right behind exposing all of that lovely brick on our fireplace.
I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day!
Oh wait, that doesn't make sense in your house Cara. What? Well, we MUST make that happen! You can see how I am constantly getting distracted by so many different things I am drawn to. I spin my wheels trying to figure out the best lay out for our home.
Now if we are talking dreams here, I would love a mudroom where our kiddo can have his own bath. Oh maybe one of these days! See, big dreams here! Well, I will be the first to tell you to chase your dreams, without them, what do we have to look forward or work towards. FOLLOW THOSE DREAMS! 💕
I think this is something I would also need to pass on. A catwalk! When we were searching for homes, we looked at a home that had a catwalk and I was so nervous to walk across it. I am not a fan of heights.
My husband said do not look down and walk across. Of course the first thing you do when someone says to not look down? Yep, I looked down. I said nope, this one is off the list.
It was kind of sad too because it was a lovely cottage on top of a very steep hill surrounded by woods and a wrap around porch that literally went all the way around the home. I envisioned rocking chairs, and watching the sunset, and sunrise, and wrapping up in blankets on chilly mornings. The driveway alone would have killed me in the winter. It went straight up!
There is that lovely catwalk again from a different angle.
