Historic Victorian: c. 1912 Period Residence

There are old houses that have been renovated, and then there are old houses where someone has clearly cared about what was worth keeping—524 6th Street belongs to the latter group.

Built in 1912 and now meticulously maintained, this downtown Marietta Victorian retains the proportions and craftsmanship that give an early-20th-century house its particular character, including high ceilings, maple and oak hardwood floors, crown molding, and generous doorways.

524 6th St, Marietta, Ohio — $364,000

3 beds • 2 baths • 2,010 sq. ft. • Built 1912 • 0.19 acres • Victorian

Look closely at the kitchen, too: its modern granite counters, extensive cabinetry, large L-shaped island, and top-of-the-line appliances have been introduced without sacrificing the generous scale that belongs to the original house.

The second-floor bathroom was renovated down to the studs, while the furnace, central air, and whole-house humidifier were updated earlier, making this a house whose historic character does not require its next owner to live in the past.

A walk-up attic provides useful storage, and the main-floor laundry is another quiet example of how the house has adapted to contemporary life.

Outside, the front porch, private fenced garden, expansive patio, and rear deck preserve the familiar indoor-outdoor rhythm of a traditional city residence, while a detached three-car garage is an unusually generous feature for a property this close to downtown.

Even the more practical improvements tell part of the story: the porch was updated with composite materials, the privacy fence was replaced in 2024, and the kitchen and garage roofs and exterior siding were updated in 2026.

Now offered at $364,000, this is the kind of old house that deserves to be noticed not because it has been preserved untouched, but because its character has been carefully carried forward—a gracious 1912 Victorian that still feels like an old house while giving its next owner very little reason to apologize for modern living.
