About this property
Moss Cottage, Moss Cottage
Centrally located in the heart of Oberlin! Walk to College and Conservatory events in just a few minutes! Only one block to Oberlin's most popular coffee shop and the historic Apollo Theater. Just a few more steps and you'll be experiencing downtown's unique shops and tasty restaurants. This craftsman-style home was built in 1911 and has the perfect blend of modern updates & historic charm. A beautiful moss covered backyard garden is perfect for small gatherings and celebrations.
