Charming, Fully Renovated Cape Cod with Modern Upgrades & Outdoor Retreat
Welcome to 1139 Kessel Ave – a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath Cape Cod offering the perfect blend of modern convenience and classic charm in Akron's desirable North Hill neighborhood. With over 1,000 square feet of stylish, move-in-ready living space, this home delivers comfort and thoughtful updates from top to bottom.
Step inside to a bright, open layout featuring new flooring, neutral tones, and a sun-drenched four-season sunroom just off the kitchen—ideal for morning coffee or casual entertaining. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and includes newer appliances: refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher.
The home’s mechanical systems have been comprehensively upgraded, including a newer furnace, central air conditioning, hot water tank, updated electrical panel and service line, sump pump, and all newer waterlines. The partially finished basement adds flexible living space, perfect for a family room, home office, or creative studio.
Outside is where this home truly shines. Enjoy your own private backyard escape featuring a custom stamped concrete patio, perfect for summer gatherings. A pergola with removable sun shades offers seasonal versatility and comfort, while a two-person swing adds a charming, relaxing touch to this outdoor haven.
Other highlights include a fenced backyard, new interior and exterior doors, an attached 1-car garage with a newer door, and what appears to be a waterproofed basement.
Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to downsize with style, 1139 Kessel Ave offers updated living in a quiet, well-established neighborhood.
