About this home
A lake a block away. The Towpath around the corner. A garage out back. And a price under $150K. Yep—this one checks some boxes. Welcome to 503 Rothrock Ave, a refreshed Kenmore home with a long list of updates and a location that's hard to beat at this price point. Summit Lake is less than a block away, and the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail is right there for walking, running and biking. Morning coffee by the lake? Evening stroll? Quick bike ride? You can do all of that without getting in the car. And when you're ready to head into town, you're close to Akron's shopping, restaurants, entertainment and downtown. Inside, you'll find fresh paint throughout, new carpet in the main bedroom, updated lighting, a new ceiling fan, new stove/range, new garbage disposal, new bathroom vanity and a refinished bathtub. Previous improvements include vinyl plank flooring, tiled kitchen and bathroom areas, and new carpeting upstairs. The big-ticket items have gotten attention too. The house and garage both have new 25-year shingles and new roof sheeting. The siding has been updated, and the deck has been painted with boards replaced. The furnace and A/C come with a 1-year warranty, and the included washer and dryer come with a 3-month warranty. Lake access without the lake-house price. Trail access without the trailhead commute. And a whole lot of updates without a whole lot of homework.
