Why they chose this property

This home is located in one of Medina’s historic neighborhoods, an area that was once considered one of the premier places to live in town. Today, the neighborhood has evolved into a unique mix of historic homes and nearby commercial businesses, giving guests the convenience of being close to everything while still enjoying the character and charm of an older Medina home.

One of the best features of the location is its proximity to Medina’s Historic Public Square — just 1 mile from the Square. That makes it an easy walk for guests who want to enjoy Medina’s many festivals, farmers markets, concerts, restaurants, shopping, and seasonal events without having to worry about finding a parking spot.

During some of Medina’s busiest events, the Square and surrounding downtown area can become quite busy, so being within walking distance is a major perk. Park at the house, grab your walking shoes, and enjoy everything downtown Medina has to offer.

The home is also conveniently positioned near a mix of local businesses, restaurants, and everyday amenities such as a gas station and laundry mat, making it a practical home base for exploring Medina and the surrounding area.

If you love historic homes, walkable access to downtown, and being close to the action while staying just outside the busiest part of the Square, this location offers a great combination of convenience, history, and local character.

What makes this property unique

The Huffman House is an orginal A.I Root Candle home built in 1921. It belonged to the original A.I Root Family.
