Open 3-story home in historic Prospect Hill neighborhood overlooking downtown. New construction built in 2001 to blend perfectly within the existing historical district, dominated by lovingly restored late 19th and early 20th century Italianate homes. Quiet street and back yard gardens, yet just minutes walk to downtown business and entertainment districts. Spectacular views of the city skyline from all three floors, including 3rd floor rooftop deck. If you love the idea of living in or near downtown, but don't want to give up a peaceful backyard garden to relax in, then you really must see this wonderful property. We even planted a wine vineyard out back, ready for its first harvest (or else, just leave them to the birds like we did!)
The Prospect Hill Neighborhood
The historic district of Prospect Hill is a beautiful space on one of the south-facing slopes that face downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio river. More important, the people who live here have wonderfully diverse backgrounds and interests, and care deeply about their homes and their neighborhood. We have never had such an easy time making lasting friends and feeling a part of a neighborhood. The neighborhood council hosts a variety of fun events, including the annual concert and picnic, and the annual "Take 5" progressive dinner that let's you tour some of the spectacular neighborhood homes. Dedicated neighbors landscaped the Prospect Hill "pocket park" (just steps away), and in the summer plant and maintain haybaskets and urns throughout the neighborhood. If you work in or near the downtown central business district, you can have a nice walk or bike ride to start and end your day. The University of Cincinnati and nearby healthcare industry is a short 5-10 minute drive.
For the House Geek
This new home is built-to-last. The foundation is a structurally reinforced concrete cage siting atop 18 drilled reinforced concrete piers that rest on bedrock. the exterior walls are 2x6 stud construction, and both the front and back walls enclose a structural steel 2-story I-beam frame. The exterior is all brick, and the windows are high quality double-pane with low maintenance anodized aluminum exterior, and painted wood interior. Extensive natural stone walls surrounding the home are both beautiful and structurally sound, sitting on concrete foundation pads and being about 3' wide at the base. The flat roof is a 50 year industrial rubber membrane that you won't have to worry about. The rooftop deck has the same roofing system, with maintenance free synthetic wood walking surface. Also, the rooftop desk isn't surrounded by a flimsy railing, but rather by a copper-topped 1.5' wide parapet wall, which will make anyone feel secure enough to lean on (not to mention set a drink and dinner plate on). There are two heating and cooling systems, one for the basement and first floor, and one for the top two floors. Recent average energy usage is about $200 per month.
