1930's Craftsman Renovation done right!
Charm! In many Columbus suburbs that is not hard to find and Worthington is no exception. At an age where many "charming homes" have fallen to disrepair or are in desperate need of updating, it is important to know what features are worth retaining and which others to say "goodbye!" to. This home on Riverglen in the heart of Worthington is a great example of modern amenity meeting 1930's Craftsmanship.
No effort was spared to reveal the true beauty and original splendor of the woodwork throughout the home. Entry highlighted by Quarter sawn Douglas Fir front door with beveled glass. Not to be out done by the authentic tile fireplace - the centerpiece of the Living Room.
This Kitchen renovation is a dream come true. Cherry cabinetry, tile backsplash, granite counters, stainless appliances, vaulted ceiling with transom windows and deck access are among the quality highlights.
The Sunroom is an addition although you'd never know it! Attention to detail makes this room feel like an original part of the house. Anchored by a wood-burning stove (shown in the video).
Nothing says charm like a window seat nestled between bookcases. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, wouldn't you say?
The charm doesn't stop upstairs! No detail is too small even in the bathrooms. The mosiac tile floors and subway tile are simple, yet elegant.
It's not often you find a finished walk-up lower level with a full bathroom in homes built in the 1930's.
Your renovation is not complete without an outdoor living space to enjoy those sunny days.

History of Galbreath in Real Estate
John W. Galbreath, 1915 [above photo]
5th Generation Real Estate Family
My name is David Galbreath. I am the 5th Generation of a Real Estate Family; and owner of Galbreath Real Estate in Columbus, Ohio. I would like to share the stories, successes, and failures from over 100 years of Real Estate endeavors. My hope is to tell these stories before they are forever lost to time. Although names of companies and towns have changed, most of the buildings still remain. However, many of their stories are fading. This is personal quest to unlock the history for myself and in doing so I hope to keep these stories alive for future generations.
