Welcome to this timeless 5-bedroom, 5 full & 3 half bath striated Sandstone Colonial ideally situated on one of West Akron’s most iconic settings, adjacent to the historic Portage Country Club Tennis & Aquatics Center and overlooking the 18th fairway of the golf course. Originally established in 1928 by Gus O'Neil & constructed 8 years after Stan Hywet was finished, this extraordinary estate has been exquisitely renovated while thoughtfully preserving its rich architectural character and historic charm. Exceptional details include the O’Neil family insignia, Fleur-de-lis accents woven throughout the home & grounds, Carolina gas lanterns, slate roof, stone curbs transported from Cleveland & granite pavers from a local Rubber Company, and more. Guests are welcomed through the original Tiger Maple front door into elegant living spaces filled with timeless craftsmanship and warmth. The stunning screened-in porch opens seamlessly to the newly redone bluestone patio featuring a beautiful lion fountain and breathtaking sunset views. Take in the 95-year-old beech & oak trees, as well as limelight hydrangeas, Eastern redbuds, alliums, and more throughout the hallowed gated grounds. The original garage was masterfully transformed in 2012 into a truly one-of-a-kind chef’s kitchen featuring a Lacanche range, custom knotty hickory Mullet cabinetry, Zebra Walnut island countertop, and soapstone perimeter counters. The luxurious owner’s suite, plus 3 additional bedrooms, all with en-suite baths, complete the 2nd floor. The third floor features a living suite complete w/5th BD & full BA. Additional living space is in the LL complete w/family room, rec rm, workout rm, wine cellar and half BA. Space above the garage is plumbed for the addition of a private guest suite. A rare opportunity to own a landmark West Akron estate where historic elegance and thoughtful restoration come together in an unmatched country club setting.
