"As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the entire process. Step by step, Joe made it easy and fun. His expertise in the Columbus real estate market is a tremendous asset. He is highly recommended!" - Nicolette Horan
"I wanted to say thank you again, so much, for all your hard work. I know that you really put a lot of time into this transaction and I really, really appreciate it. I'm so happy I got the house and it all worked out and I just wanted to say thanks again, you did a great job and i really appreciate it. I will put that on the survey when they send it to me.
If there is ever anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to give me a call. I will refer every single person I know to you. I'm going to go get my dog and we're going to sit on the floor of our new house and have a glass of champaign. Thanks a lot Joe" -- Michael Mamp
2007 Olde Towne East Tour of Homes - Recap
May 23rd, 2007 categories: Olde Towne East, Real Estate News
If you missed the 2007 Olde Towne East Tour of Homes last weekend, you’re surely kicking yourself. There were 13 homes that ran the gamut from Eastwood Avenue to nearly I-70. It was nice to see the tour get out of the OTE comfort zone, get North of Broad and South of Main while hitting Wilson and Linwood avenues. Great Homes, Great People. I went with my wife and kids and we didn’t make it to each house (that’s right, kids) and I had to work later in the day so I’ll only recap the homes I actually visited before the rain came in two posts.
1403 Eastwood. This brick Queen Anne has a wonderful game/media room fit for the bed and breakfast that has operated there for some time. Five guest rooms all together, three with attached baths. It’s completely updated, and nicely done I might add, and literally a turn key operation. It’s also on the market right now.
A delightful young couple have done a superb job renovating this Dutch Colonial Revival. Every room was done with forethought and taste. From the new kitchen to the restored Carriage House to the arts and crafts period touches and cherry and mahogany everywhere, this house is a great example of what some time, understanding and know can do for a neighborhood restoration. (Visit the homeowner’s Stone Company.)
I’ve always wondered what the main house at 1415 East Broad Street looked like inside. Wow, it is much more original and more detailed than I’d anticipated. This French “country” Palace from 1896 has served as one of The social homes of Columbus’ Richest families to a home to Wayward and working girls run by the Franciscan Sisters. The current owner rescued it from demolition in 1977, when it had 24 bathrooms.

Thanks for the mention of this home - I saw a sketch and description of its history in a book called ‘Columbus Vignettes’ by Bill Arter, and went to take a photo of it. Amazing. One strange thing is that it’s not listed on the Franklin County Auditor’s site…
