Welcome to 610 Nelson Place, home to beloved Cincinnati icon and internationally acclaimed chef Jean-Robert de Cavel. This remarkable three-story brick residence is as special as the legacy it holds. Built to impress and beautifully preserved, the home combines grand historic architecture with a modern addition designed for entertaining.

A large, welcoming front porch overlooks historic Nelson Place, one of the original brick streets in Newport’s Mansion Hill. Inside, an impressive foyer showcases a gleaming staircase and sets the tone for the home’s exceptional craftsmanship. Original mantels remain in pristine condition, while oak floors, substantial original trim, and generously sized rooms preserve the character and elegance of the residence. The first floor offers a wonderful flow, with large rooms connected by original pocket doors and abundant architectural detail throughout.

At the rear of the home, a modern addition creates an incredible entertaining space filled with natural light. Large glass doors open directly to the courtyard, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. At the heart of it all is a true chef’s kitchen, thoughtfully designed for someone who knows a thing or two about cooking!

The second floor offers three bedrooms, two full baths, ample closets, and excellent potential for reconfiguration to suit the next owner. The third floor is an incredible bonus, offering space for a fourth bedroom, rec room, home office, or combination of uses, along with an oversized full bath and walk-in cedar closet.

Outside, the private courtyard is shaded by mature trees and features a stone patio ideal for entertaining. A one-car garage has a new door and opener, with additional off-street parking for three vehicles or space for a larger garage.

Rich in history, architectural character, and Cincinnati culinary legacy, this is truly a one-of-a-kind residence in the heart of Mansion Hill. Come be the next steward of this incredible property!
