Not every old house arrives beautifully restored and ready for its next chapter. Some are waiting for someone with the vision to see what they could become.
At 1830 Wellesley Drive in Toledo, Ohio, this brick residence dating to 1928 offers an affordable opportunity to take on a renovation project and give an older home a fresh beginning. Its traditional two-story form and brick exterior reflect the practical, enduring construction of an earlier generation, while the interior fireplace hints at the cozy gathering spaces that have long been central to home life.
1830 Wellesley Dr, Toledo, OH 43606 | Minimum Bid: $29,000
3 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms | 1,380 Sq Ft | Built in 1928 | 0.13 Acres
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 1,380 square feet, the house offers a useful footprint for a renovation, investment project, or future residence. A full basement provides additional storage and potential workspace, while the detached garage adds valuable room for vehicles, tools, and equipment.
The property sits on a manageable lot of approximately 5,800 square feet in an established Toledo neighborhood, offering a foundation for someone prepared to make thoughtful improvements.
This is not a turnkey home, and buyers should carefully evaluate its condition and anticipated renovation costs before making a commitment. Instead, it presents the opportunity to look beyond the work ahead and imagine how a nearly century-old house might be renewed for another generation.
With a minimum auction bid of $29,000 advertised, this property invites renovators and old-house enthusiasts to consider the possibilities—but remember that the minimum bid is not a guaranteed purchase price, and auction terms should be reviewed before bidding.
