Some houses were simply built better. This one has stood in the heart of Botkins since about 1900, and it still wears the craftsmanship that came standard back then — a slate roof overhead, original oak woodwork and trim running through the house, classic pocket doors, high ceilings, and hardwood floors underfoot. In the dining room, the original art deco light fixtures and sconces are still doing their work.
What sets this one apart is that the character survived without the house being left behind. The kitchen and baths have been updated, and all appliances stay. The HVAC and water heater have been updated, and the home carries a 200-amp electric service with village water, village sewer, and natural gas.
There is more room here than the footprint suggests. A first-floor den with a closet and window gives you a flexible space right off the main floor, and the partially finished basement adds usable square footage below. Out back, a newly built accessible ramp makes the rear entry easy to reach, and a two-car detached garage opens onto the alley.
The location is the part you cannot build. The home sits right in the middle of town, with the Botkins Local School grounds adjoining the property to the north. The village pool and playground are only steps away. And when you need to go anywhere else, I-75 access is less than a minute from the door — a combination of small-town setting and highway convenience that is genuinely hard to find. Botkins is known for its schools; this is Trojan country.
The property is not located in a flood zone.
The opening bid is only $150,000, and the property sells with owner confirmation. Come see it, do your homework, and bid what it is worth to you.
