Harrington House and Gardens is the kind of place that you never knew was there:
Nestled in the quiet Historic Perkins Homestead Neighborhood of Warren, Ohio, Harrington House and Gardens is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise wild and hectic existence.
The present owners and residents, the Ortzen-Abbott family, moved from London, England in 2006, buying this property in 2008.
They took a house whose only future was condemnation and demolition, and continue to turn it and the surrounding land into a lifestyle for the benefit and empowerment of residents, guests, passers-by, and, of course, themselves!
Since the start, It has been their dream to turn the house and gardens into as close to a self-sufficient urban paradise as is possible, eventually boasting (among other things) low maintenance, and water and energy conservation.
