Occupy history! You'll enjoy living in this 100+ year old Westwood home. It was built
for a physician with apartments on the first and second floors, an office in the
basement and staff quarters on the third floor. We've
thoughtfully rehabbed and furnished this second floor apartment striving to keep the charm while
providing a comfortable space for today. Transoms, pocket and French
doors, hardwood floors, traditional style furniture and a few antiques provide the former; a high-efficiency
furnace, new windows, ceiling fans, modern kitchen appliances and comfortable
(!) furniture provide the latter.

Because folks viewing this page are expecting a
completely furnished apartment we've included lots of pictures so you can get a
good idea of what it would be like to make this your temporary, Cincinnati
home.

We think this place is great (ok, maybe we're a
bit biased). The text above and the pictures below show a lot of the great
things this property has to offer. No place is perfect. Here are a
few "warts" we want to tell you about because we don't like surprises,
either.
 |
This apartment does not have central
air. Instead, it has three 12,000 BTU room units that are installed in
the living room, office and bedroom during cooling season. They look a
bit like dehumidifiers and unlike window units, don't block a third or more
of your window. Click here to
see what one looks like. Each unit is capable of cooling up to 550SF. The
apartment is about 1300 SF so you will be well cooled. Also, the
living room, dining room, office and bedroom have ceiling fans to help keep
you comfortable. |
|
We want you to be comfortable in the cooler
months, too. We also strive to keep our rent reasonable. To that
end, the thermostat has a maximum heat setting of 72. We ask for your
cooperation in allowing us to set a heating schedule that meets your
at-home/at-work schedule to continue to provide a comfortable and affordable
home. |
|
The sink does not have a garbage disposal (aka
The Devil's Kitchen Appliance - because they are so often
misused). We ask that you simply scrape food from dishes into
the trash before washing them. |
|
The refrigerator does not have an icemaker. |
Each unit has its own entrance from the grand front porch.

Living room with decorative fireplace, functional French and pocket
doors. Elegant hardwood floors.
