Nestled in a private, nature-filled setting in the heart of Gates Mills, this charming home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and modern comfort. Surrounded by mature landscaping and directly across from Metroparks property, the setting feels like a peaceful retreat while remaining convenient to everyday amenities. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main living spaces, complemented by a charming kitchen with newer appliances, custom butcher block and Corian countertops, and access to a spacious screened porch overlooking gardens and the backyard. Raised garden beds are ready for your seasonal plantings, while established blueberry bushes and other mature plantings enhance the property’s natural appeal. Three cleaned & inspected fireplaces add warmth and charm to the home. Sun tunnels in the upstairs hall, bathroom, and office fill the interior with abundant natural light and save energy costs. Recent improvements include a new septic system (2025), gravel driveway (2026), whole-house generator, and numerous additional updates.
