About the host
Hosted by Karen Stahl

Karen and Phil Stahl grew up in Bellevue Ohio and currently live in Huntsville Alabama. Karen is a retired Family and Consumer Sciences teacher. Phil designs and builds space telescopes for NASA - including the Webb Space Telescope. We have three children and 4 grand-children (hoping for more). We like to travel the world – particularly Europe – yet feel deeply rooted to Ohio. Our families have been here since the 1800s and we and our children attended college here: Wittenberg, Ohio State, Miami, Wittenberg and Denison. When we lived in Connecticut, every summer we took our kids to ‘Family Camp’ at Camp Quinipet on Shelter Island. Now, we are looking forward to sharing Lakeside with our Grand-Children.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Lakeside several years ago and purchased 140 Jasmine in 2017. When 159 Jasmine came available in 2019, we could not resist. Now we have added 644 Walnut. During our weeks in Lakeside, Karen teaches craft classes at the Rhein Center. She always commented on the cute cottage across the street from her teaching area. I like 644 Walnut’s location – 3 blocks up from Hoover Auditorium, 3 blocks over from Grindley Aquatic Center and Tennis/Pickle-Ball Courts, and 1 block down from the Farmer’s Market and future Performing Arts Center. But most important is the Lakeside Chautauqua with its organized activities and programs for all ages. See their website for details.
What makes this property unique
What makes the property unique? It comes with its own 1878 outhouse and two horse barn. It has been fully renovated while keeping the core of the original 1878 cottage.
The cottage we bought had 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms. The new cottage has 5 bedrooms, including a downstairs primary bedroom with en-suite, 2.5 bathrooms and a brand new kitchen and paved patio. The upstairs front bedroom has its own balcony.
