Nestled in the heart of a serene forest, this charming 4-bedroom cape cod home offers the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience. Tucked away on a private street with only 4 homes, it sits amidst rolling hills and towering trees, providing an idyllic retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The home itself is full of character, with a cozy, inviting atmosphere, wood paneled library, and large windows that invite natural light and stunning views of the surrounding forested hills.
Spacious patio extends from the front of the home, overlooking your private paradise. Ideal for al fresco dining or simply relaxing while taking in the sights and sounds of nature. There's also an expansive, mostly flat, fully fenced yard offering plenty of room for pets, children, or gardening enthusiasts to enjoy, ensuring privacy and security. Storage shed plus oversized carport for large vehicle.
The original estate was lost in the 1940s, and this home rose in it's place in the 1950s. Down the hill in the distance stand two small stone pillars, historic artifacts from the former horse path entry from Chagrin River Road. One edge of the property has a conservation easement by the Gate's Mills Land Conservancy- runs from north to south points following the line of the old Maple Leaf Railroad. This home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Double sized bedroom w/ full bath on first floor. 3 bedrooms upstairs, a small loft, and second full bathroom. Nice half bath in partially finished basement. 2 car garage enters on basement level. Majestic views from sunroom, dining room, and living room, which also features hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace.
Despite the peaceful, country-like setting, this lovely residence is only a short drive from shopping, dining, schools, and amenities, making it the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern convenience. Whether you're seeking a weekend getaway or a peaceful full-time home, this property offers the best of both worlds.
