Property Description
As you travel along the wooded drive, you'll begin to suspect this isn't going to be an ordinary house. Then, across 6 acres, a white 1920s Colonial comes into view, overlooking the Chagrin River Valley. And that's only the beginning. Imagine finding century-old craftsmanship and discovering someone's already done the hard part. And not JUST the pretty stuff. Throughout 2022–23, the owners opened nearly every wall, retired the remaining knob-and-tube wiring, insulated and re-drywalled, relocated the kitchen and rebuilt every bath. The architecture and character? Carefully kept. Refinished original hardwoods run through the center hall to a family room where Amish-crafted, hand-hewn beams span a brick fireplace with its original mantel. The pine-paneled library has a fire of its own; the glass-wrapped garden room, with clay tile underfoot, makes a compelling case for doing nothing on a Sunday afternoon. In the kitchen, custom cabinetry, quartz, exposed brick and new appliances meet a dining bay tucked among the trees. The herringbone-floored sitting room keeps its Dutch door and adds a bar with Sub-Zero beverage center. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own view of the hills, copper and gold come fall, plus a fireplace, tiled walk-in shower and generous closet. Five more bedrooms and three additional full baths include a private suite above the garage, giving everyone room to spread out. Beyond the house: bluestone terrace, new composite deck, lawn, pickleball/basketball court and the soft glow of festoon lighting tracing the fence line. Improvements include a 2025 roof, 54 Marvin windows, whole-house A/C, security, EV charging, and a stewardship log too long to list. Tucked in the woods, you feel worlds away, though I-271 puts University Circle, downtown Cleveland and Hopkins International within easy reach. It's a rare balance: a house that remembers exactly what it was, without asking you to live in the past. The very best stories deserve to keep being told.
