There are many unique and irreplaceable neighborhoods in Northern Ohio. Neighborhoods like Ohio City and Tremont in Cleveland, much of Lakewood, downtown Medina, downtown Wellington, West Avenue in Elyria and the historical homes along Lake Rd/East and West Erie in Avon, Avon Lake, Lorain and other lakefront communities all have features that would be incredibly expensive if not impossible to replace. Unique woodwork, stairwells, built-ins, tile work and stain glass may have been created generations ago and have incredible stories behind their owners and creators.
When we market real estate with historical significance we make a point of doing a written history, a detailed virtual tour and fliers paying special attention to woodwork, tile details, decorative glass, original lighting, and any historic garden features.
Older homes can be upgraded and made more energy efficient while still protecting what makes them so special. These improvements should also be highlighted.
Making improvements to older buildings with historical significance is possible. When remodeling utilize low profile storm windows that install over existing windows, blown-in insulation, full glass storm doors that protect and insulate older doors without covering their beauty and other modern but low impact improvements. Heating systems can be replaced and upgraded to far more high efficiency units.
When selling older homes market their unique characteristics by utilizing the maximum number of pictures online and in print material. Open houses can be very effective when the home is staged properly. Selling or searching for a quality historic home?
