A Bexley home on the National Register of Historic Places has landed on the market for $3.25 million.

The home, at 333 N. Parkview Ave., was designed by Miller & Reeves, the same architecture firm that designed Sessions Village, the French Provincial-style neighborhood in Bexley. The house, designed in 1919 for Franklin County Judge Robert Phifer Duncan, is an early example of Spanish Revival style, landing it a spot on the National Register in 1984.

"North Parkview is one of the most iconic streets in central Ohio, with the most architecturally significant homes in the area, in my opinion," said Alan Hinson, the New Albany Realty agent listing the property.

The owners, Brian and Toria Schottenstein, are listing the home five months after they bought it because they have decided to buy the New Albany home of basketball star Michael Redd, listed in September for $5 million.

"The owners planned to live there for years, but another significant home came up; it was really the opportunity of a lifetime," Hinson said.

The 10,761-square-foot home includes eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, along with a heated four-car garage, a finished basement, an indoor basketball court and multiple gathering places including a large entryway, a hearth room, library and morning room.

While the home retains many original architectural details, it "has had significant renovations over time that were respectful to the heritage of the property," Hinson said.

Recent improvements include interior and exterior painting, a new alarm system, electrical and HVAC updates, and landscaping including an irrigation system for the 1.6-acre lot.

According to the National Register application, the home bears the key details of what would become the Spanish Revival style, also called Mediterranean Revival.

"Characteristics ... include its low-pitch hip roof with Spanish-style tile, its use of arched openings used in combination with flat-arched openings, its carved stone and iron ornamentation, its textured (stuccoed) walls, its doorway flanked with pilasters and its balcony, loggia and partially enclosed patio."

The application also notes that the home was designed years before the style became a "craze" in the mid-1920s.

Hinson noted that homes on North Parkview have traditionally come on the market infrequently, but that three have sold in the past four months - at 386 N. Parkview, 481 N. Parkview and 484 N. Parkview.
