Posted to Homes for Sale, Marge Drake on May 14th, 2008

51 West N. Street - Worthington Ohio is currently on the market for the first time in 47 years. A wing of this house was moved from the Vilage Green to its current location in 1920. There are four different eras represented in this house. The oldest portion is the dining room. This is the area supported by unsawed, log floor joists, this section is from slightly before 1820. The living room section dates from the mid 1800's. Both of these sections were moved to the current lot. The den portion on the west side of the house dates from 1920. The fourth section of the house which is now the kitchen was added in 1950. This house reflects the charm of the Old Worthington area.

Luxury estate in the private Wingate Farms of Delaware County, Ohio

Posted to Columbus Suburbs, Phil Giessler, Real Estate Markets on May 12th, 2008

I met Ben Corcoran, (SCRP of the Appraisal Group) at the luxury estate built by Paul Craver in the private Wingate Farms of southern Delaware County. The flowers looked beautiful and Scotts Lawn Service had just worked on the yard - it looks awesome. I invited Ben out to measure both the main house and the separate carriage garage that includes a full apartment. He’s going to provide a cad cam layout for marketing purposes. The infra red tool that he uses to obtain the interior measurements is called a Leica Disto laser. Pretty neat device! Ben commented that the architectural features and the plantation style design are unusual for the general Columbus, Ohio market.

Luxury home market residences are usually so large that pictures do not provide enough information for the savvy internet user. We feel that the addition of the cad cam layout and other images are necessary to market these estates. A probable buyer for this estate (or others above the $1,000,000.00 price point) is someone being relocated to the Columbus, Ohio market. We know that the web is the first source for many buyers - especially those transferring from out of state. Therefore, a thorough and unique on line presentation is necessary.

Worthington, Ohio's "one of a kind" CVS... coming soon!

Posted to Columbus Suburbs, Phil Giessler, Real Estate Markets on May 9th, 2008

You might find a CVS on every corner but in Worthington the new CVS under construction is one of a kind. Replacing the long standing local grocery store, this structure is fitting of the Olde Worthington aura. The all brick traditional style with parking in the back will beautify the corner and should attract shoppers to the CVS as well as the additional space adjoining. It is rumored that there will be apartments upstairs which should attract young or old - anyone wanting to be where the action is in downtown Worthington. We are looking forward to welcoming our new CVS to the corner down the street.

New Restaurant Coming to Worthington, Ohio

Posted to Columbus Suburbs, Phil Giessler, Real Estate Markets on May 9th, 2008

Here is the new restaurant being completed in Worthington. Jason Liu, a successful restaurateur in Dublin, is planning to open his Worthington location in July of 2008. The exterior is nearly complete and work seems to be going on around the clock. It looks like one of the more elaborate and probably most expensive ground up restaurants I have seen. The copper gutters and flashing accents the white trim and brick facing. Unique to the typical Worthington colonial architectural style is the big pineapple seen on the front of the building. My understanding is the pineapple is a welcome sign. If the food is as good as the Dublin shop this place will be very busy.

Worthington, Powell, Upper Arlington, Clintonville, Lewis Center and Westerville will probably be the sources of customers for this easily accessible location on North High Street near the I-270 Rt. 23 interchange. The Cam Taylor Co. agents will be having our “wine and whine” and “beer and cheer” meeting there as soon as they open. We will provide a review.

It is part of the unique traditions of this community, which was founded by a group of New Englanders in 1803 and is one of the oldest in Ohio. Each Saturday morning from mid-May to mid-October, a Farmers Market is held, capturing the spirit of earlier days when farmers brought their crops to market.

Why on earth would anyone want to relocate to Columbus, OH? Well, let me tell you why there are a myriad of reasons. There is nothing quite like good old middle America, and that’s what Columbus is. Our cost of living is one of the most affordable in the country; in fact, the average sales price for a SFM home in Columbus is only $165,000! Above and beyond our reasonable cost of living, we have a lot happening here! We’re the state capital, the home of The Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!) and we are the headquarters for a number of corporate giants like Nationwide Insurance, Honda of America, The Limited Corporation, and Wendy’s Restaurants.
