About this home
Welcome to 1440 W Market Street, a beautifully restored three-story Colonial set on a coveted stretch of historic Market Street in downtown Lima. Built circa 1924 and recognized on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior, this 3,353 square foot home blends timeless architectural character with thoughtful modern updates. A charming vestibule entry opens into a grand foyer showcasing a stunning staircase, extensive wainscoting, and rich trim details that carry throughout the home. Original charm is found in every room with elegant archways, built-ins, glass door knobs, vintage light fixtures, and three fireplaces, including a double-sided gas fireplace serving the main living and sitting rooms and a third fireplace in the expansive primary bedroom suite. The oversized primary suite also features a private den, creating a rare and luxurious retreat. The remodeled kitchen offers quartz countertops with a styled edge, a striking black marble tile backsplash with gold accents, stainless steel under-mount sink, and included stainless steel appliances including the gas range, microwave, and dishwasher. Hardwood flooring runs throughout much of the home while tile flooring anchors the kitchen and main floor half bath. Major improvements include newer vinyl windows, updated electrical with recessed lighting, fresh paint throughout, and a newer gas furnace. The home sits gracefully set back from the road with a long concrete driveway leading to the side-entry attached two-car garage, while the backyard offers a privately fenced outdoor space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. With three finished levels, a full unfinished basement, and classic architectural details rarely found today—including a traditional laundry chute—this remarkable property offers historic elegance, modern comfort, and one of Lima's most desirable addresses.
