Stunning National Register Colonial Revival Home

The Richard Berry Jr. House, a Colonial Revival estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places is available for purchase for the first time in four decades. The 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom 5,680 sqft residence sits on 1.43 acres and includes 6 enclosed garage bays.
The location is 15 to 20 minutes from everything in Columbus and the surrounding suburbs, a rare level of central access for a property of this size and historical pedigree.
The home was designed by noted Columbus architect Ray Sims, whose residential work helped shape the early 20th-century character of neighborhoods like Bexley, Grandview, and Upper Arlington. The Berry House, one of Sims’ largest and most detailed designs, includes two full two-room bedroom suites, four fireplaces, a North Carolina gumwood-paneled library, and extensive built-ins throughout.
The current owner has invested substantially in maintaining the home’s original elements and character, including the cedar shake siding, slate roofing, and Belgian and imported tile bathrooms—all preserved or restored in keeping with the period.
Unlike many historic homes in Columbus that have been subdivided or extensively remodeled, the Berry House remains true to the architect’s original vision, including the landscape plan, brick walkways, arched porch, and arcade terrace.
The Berry House is set well back from East North Broadway behind a wide lawn, the house occupies one of the largest original lots in Clintonville—a neighborhood better known for its modest Craftsman bungalows and early 20th-century foursquares. In contrast, the Berry property spans the entirety of its 1.43 acre lot and includes a circular drive and a screened summer house.
