Property Description
High upon 9th St hill, on the corner of 9th & Polk, just across the street from Pfeiffer Elementary's big rock wall, the same sturdy and attractive colonial style home sits today that sat there when Herbert Hoover took office (1929). Having housed the same family since 1970, this home is the model of consistency and an expert in growth and expansion. 716 Polk is just big enough and versatile enough to be whatever your growing family needs it to be. Featuring a huge updated kitchen (2019) that includes a new triple basin sink and faucet, vinyl floors, can lights, and maple cabinets, a XL dining room with window seat and french doors leading to the giant living room with working wood burning fireplace and built-in bookshelves, a full bath on every floor, 1st floor and basement bonus rooms that act as 4th and 5th bedrooms, if necessary, big bedrooms, all with extra storage, a gigantic private front porch with storage, side door dog pen and deck, there is no shortage of character or space. There is so much to love, but its you that your family will love for making this home yours. A $14k rock retaining wall with a lifetime transferable warranty was added in 2024. Paint and carpet throughout in 2024. The fireplace was cleaned and serviced in October of 2023. Situated comfortably in a family-friendly neighborhood, with Akron's best highway accessibility, and nearby to a host of conveniences and destinations alike, this is a great place to call home. Don't sleep on 716 Polk, sleep in it!
