Ember Row

A main bedroom with a tall upholstered headboard, plus a second bedroom.

Set in a plaster surround at the end of the living room, with the sofa and armchairs turned toward it.

Deep green cabinetry, a gas range, a French-door fridge and a breakfast bar with stools.

Living room, dining table and kitchen run front to back in one bright line.

One full bathroom for the house.

Brick streets, Schiller Park and The Book Loft, a short hop from downtown Columbus.

German Village's big green: lawns, old trees, a pond and summer Shakespeare under the open sky. An easy walk through the brick streets.

A maze of small rooms stacked with books in a 19th-century building on South Third Street. Budget an hour; you will stay longer.

Downtown's riverfront parks and fountains along the Scioto River, a short drive north.

Columbus's historic public market: food stalls, bakeries and local makers under one roof, at the foot of the Short North.

Restaurants, cafés and shops along German Village's brick streets, close to the house.

Just south of downtown Columbus, and about 15 to 20 minutes by car from John Glenn Columbus International Airport.
