Louise Nippert childhood home for sale

A Clifton house that was the childhood home for Louise Nippert is being listed for sale.

The list price for the 3466 Brookline Ave. single-family home is $499,000.

The 3,854-square-foot, two-story tudor was built in 1931, according to Hamilton County property records. It has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and one half-bathroom.

Coldwell Banker West Shell is listing the property.

Louise Dieterle Nippert died July 23, 2012 at age 100.

Nippert was a fourth-generation Cincinnatian, a University of Cincinnati graduate, an accomplished singer and noted philanthropist. She helped rescue the struggling Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra by donating $85 million to the organization in 2009.

Nippert’s husband Louis was an attorney and the great-grandson of James Gamble, one of the founders of the Procter Gamble Co. The Nipperts were owners of the Cincinnati Reds during the Big Red Machine era.

Nippert grew up in the home and it was kept in the family after she inherited it from her parents, said Carter Randolph, trustee for the LL Nippert Trust, which owns the home.

“There’s nobody to live in it so you’d sell it for someone else to move in,” Randolph said.

The trust also owns a home next door, but it has yet to be listed. Randolph said other trust-owned assets could be sold but he did not elaborate.

Randolph is also president of the Greenacres Foundation and president of the LL Nippert Charitable Foundation. He said the foundations are not involved with listing the home.

Mike Hines, a Coldwell Banker West Shell sales associate, said the property has been on the market for less than a month, but it has received a “tremendous” amount of interest.

“499 is a solid deal for that house,” Hines said. “The bones are solid. In Clifton, there’s a good market for those fixed up, old-time homes. This home has a lot of character.”
