Comments for 422 Glendora Avenue, Oakwood, OH 45409

Set on a rare half-acre lot on one of Oakwood's quietest streets, 422 Glendora Ave is a 1927 residence that reflects the craftsmanship of the community's most sought-after era. Tucked just off historic Schantz Avenue, the home offers the scale and character of early Oakwood while showing the results of careful, ongoing stewardship. Four bedrooms and generous living spaces span multi-levels, retaining period detail throughout. Recent and long-term improvements include top to bottom updates—too many to list all; updated kitchen, bathrooms, reglazing windows, adding a pool shed, converting original garage to family room and adding 2 car attached garage with rooftop terrace, an elevated, private outdoor space with views of the city. Renovations completed with attention to preserving the home's original integrity and by true craftsmen. The oversized lot — among the largest on the street — provides room rarely found this close to the heart of Oakwood, with mature landscaping and outdoor space to match. A home of this vintage, condition, and setting is a genuine rarity in the market. This unique house has architectural roots in the pastoral Cotswold region of England and these homes are often referred to as “Cotswold Cottages.” They are picturesque homes that conjure up images of a whimsical storybook house with cozy corners, quirky angles and charming, artistic details. This one features a turret, steep slate hip and gable roof, charming wood carvings, gorgeous sleeping porch and small window dormers.
