A piece of Akron history just changed hands for a fraction of its former price. The iconic Parker Home, once one of the city’s most impressive residences, sold at auction for $185,000—far below its previous $687,000 asking price. This 1912 Arts & Crafts mansion, packed with original details like stained glass and a carved staircase, needs major repairs (including parts of the second floor!). Still, it sits on a rare 1.6-acre lot near Portage Country Club. Would you take on a massive fixer-upper if it meant owning a slice of local history? Let’s hear your thoughts! #RealEstate #AkronHistory #FixerUpper
