This first-time offered, custom-built home is a true mid-century modern gem located in the sought-after Briar Lake neighborhood. From its hilltop perch on a half-acre lot overlooking Finwood Forest Park, the 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath split-level offers a serene and private setting, though it is just minutes from Lorain County Community College and Interstate 90. A vaulted entry welcomes you with a wood-beamed ceiling and skylight, creating a warm and inviting first impression. The living room features a stunning see-through stone gas fireplace and a wall of windows that showcase breathtaking views of the woods and ravine. The eat-in kitchen includes cherry cabinetry, a pantry, and a built-in desk area, and opens to the formal dining room, which also enjoys the ambiance of the see-through fireplace. The lower-level family room is complimented by a brick fireplace and wet bar—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step into the vaulted three-season sunroom, an ideal space for gatherings. Additional highlights include a den with built-ins, a spacious game room, a large laundry room with cabinetry, and a built-in sauna. The owner’s suite offers a deluxe bath with a large vanity, newer walk-in shower, and two closets. Outdoors, a large deck provides the perfect setting to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. The property includes an option to join the Briar Lake Association, which offers access to the nearby 3-acre lake and all of its recreational amenities.
