On Dec 30, 2021

CLEVELAND, Ohio — For house hunters, the opportunity to own in a historic building in the center of the city doesn’t come up often. That’s what makes Apt. 500 in the Park Building so unique.

Built by architect Frank Barnum on Public Square in 1904, the building was restored to its original grandeur during its conversion from business to residential a decade ago. The available unit is a rare three-bed, two-bath home located on the fifth floor.

“You will be wowed by this residence’s sophistication, character, beautiful woodwork, and wall of windows overlooking the dazzling holiday lights in Public Square,” says Howard Hanna listing agent Kristin Rogers, who has priced it priced at $335,000.

Enter the 1,603-sq. ft. home through the entryway lined with custom built-in bookshelves and you’ll arrive at the large open living space with the original hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and spectacular views of downtown Cleveland. The adjacent kitchen features granite countertops, ample cabinet space and stainless appliances including a gas range and a Bosch dishwasher.

Among the three bedrooms, the roomy primary suite boasts three windows overlooking Public Square, a mounted flat-screen TV, ceiling fan, soundproofed wall to the neighboring unit and walk-in closet. The en suite has a spacious shower, jetted tub, double sinks and heated tile floors.

The home also comes with in-unit laundry. Parking can be leased in the attached garage for $275 a month, though a car might be unnecessary with the central business district, shopping, dining, entertainment and the city’s three major sports teams all within walking distance.

“This one-of-a-kind condo is a showstopper and must be seen to be appreciated,” Rogers says.
