1624 Preston Avenue

Beautifully restored, 1624 Preston Avenue captures the character of Akron’s golden era on a tree-lined corner lot. A new roof and siding installed in 2026 helped bring the home back to its former glory. The enclosed front porch looks out onto a historic neighborhood built for Akron’s rubber workers. Inside, natural light fills the spacious living room, where a white brick fireplace and wide window trim set the tone. A wide doorway opens to the formal dining room. The fully updated kitchen is built for serious cooking and entertaining, with generous counter space on both sides, abundant cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a gas range. There’s room to prep a big meal or host a dinner party, and an arched nook makes a natural coffee station. Upstairs are three large bedrooms and a completely updated full bath with a subway-tiled tub and shower. The full basement has a dedicated laundry area, a utility sink, and plenty of clean storage. An attached one-car garage offers additional storage, and the fenced backyard has mature shade trees and landscaped beds. Set above downtown Akron, the home is close to the city’s breweries, art galleries, hospitals, and inventive local restaurants. Book your private tour today.
