This Mt. Adams Home For Sale Was Featured in an Artwork Owned by the Cincinnati Art Museum

Here's your chance to own a work of art that inspired another work of art: 1011 Jerome St. in Mt. Adams is for sale – but the Cincinnati Art Museum already owns a little piece of it.

The only house on the brick-lined street in the heart of Mt. Adams, 1011 Jerome St. was designed by architect Phillip O. Smith, who lived and worked in the neighborhood, in 1967. The Japanese-inspired home comes with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a rare broad lot and an incredible view of the Ohio River.

Inside the home you’ll find vaulted, beamed ceilings; clerestory gable windows with picturesque views and a unique layout that means the home can be separated into two units or be used as a multi-generational house. Outside is a Japanese-inspired garden and a 38x22-foot trapezoidal south-facing deck, perfect for parties with the Ohio River Valley as your backdrop. There’s also room on the street to park four or five cars – an invaluable asset on the narrow, often-full streets of Mt. Adams.

Another intriguing point of this house goes back to the Cincinnati Art Museum: While it’s not currently on display, the museum owns a wood cut piece featuring 1011 Jerome St. by artist Thom Shaw, who is best known for his series of prints showing the painful experiences of African Americans living in urban communities. Using the same Japanese paper and black ink, Shaw created a different kind of urban scene, forever immortalizing 1011 Jerome St.

1011 Jerome St. is listed for $989,900. For more information, contact Lee G. Robinson with Robinson Sotheby’s International Realty. Find the original listing here.
