Welcome to 297 S James Road, a light-filled 1920s charmer in the heart of Eastmoor that's packed with personality, space, and timeless details you won't find in a new build. Inside, you'll be greeted by tall ceilings, glowing original hardwood floors, and abundant natural light pouring through oversized windows.

Love a home with history but don't want a full reno project? This one's got the perfect blend: classic charm + key updates. The kitchen and bath are fresh and functional, with room to add your own style. Outside, enjoy a big backyard, a detached 2-car garage, and a backyard covered patio that's practically begging for a swing and a cup of coffee. Located just minutes from downtown Columbus, this home is in an established neighborhood with tree-lined streets, great access to freeways, and tons of potential. FHA/VA financing welcomed. If you're the kind of buyer who wants warmth, character, and space to grow—without giving up convenience or affordability—this is the one
