The four-year meticulous renovation of this 130 year-old 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is now complete for you and your family to enjoy. You’ll find the people here in Toronto, Ohio among the friendliest folks on earth. Excellent for all seasons.

The ambience of the train horn blowing in the distance, Church bells ringing, birds chirping and river barges passing by is like going back in time - in the best of ways.

Great spot and great host
The house was clean and very well prepared for our visit (including Christmas decorations in the house). Tony stayed in touch with us all along, and was quick to respond when we had questions. The decore and finishes of the house made us feel at home. The house was well equipped, everything was well organized and labeled (the best we’ve seen). If someone forced me to pick one negative thing about the house, it would be setting the right water temperature in the master shower - my wife found it tricky, but if that’s the worst thing about the house, you know you are in a good spot ;)

Beautiful Home!
This is a wonderful home in the heart of Toronto - on the Ohio River. The entire home has been renovated and nothing was overlooked. The kitchen is well appointed; set up to cook and host meals. The house is immaculate while still feeling incredibly comfortable. The owner of the home has labeled everything - no time was wasted trying to figure out how things work. This house is within walking distance to a great pizzeria, coffee shop and a few unique stores. Only 15 minutes to Franciscan. We will certainly be back.
