This room with a bay window would make a perfect office or a guest room. The fireplace is typical of the quality of The Aurora's materials and craftmanship.
We value your safety! The Aurora is a locked building. Unlike most downtown apartments buildings, Airbnb's are not permitted in The Aurora. You won't be bumping into strangers all the time.
There is no elevator in this quiet third floor home, but the stairs are very friendly. Privacy! Say goodbye to the endless corridor and thin walls where you can hear your neighbor. The stairway totally separates the two units on each floor.
This could be a guest room or your home office.
The kitchen is large enough to have a table.
Two windows in the kitchen.
In addition to the many 48" cabinets, there's a large pantry.

About the building

The historic Aurora Townhouse is a must-see downtown gem. This beautiful, spacious, rarely-available 1,100+ sf apartment is one of only five in the entire building and features bay windows, oak mantels, large eat-in kitchen, washer/dryer, spare room and more. You'll be steps away from restaurants and other amenities and conveniences: a streetcar stop is across the street which will take you all over downtown, Over-the-Rhine and The Banks for free. Kroger's is 3 blocks away. People tell us The Aurora is the cleanest building they've seen in their Cincinnati apartment search. Cats are okay. Sorry, no dogs. One year lease. Rent substantially reduced with a two-year lease and excellent credit score.
