You're going to be excited about this 2 for 1 compound that is only a 7 minute drive to downtown Chagrin Falls. The main house has a 1st floor bedroom with ensuite, 1st floor laundry, pantry, 2nd full bathroom, formal living, dining & family room. There are treetop views through sliding rear doors off the family room, and the fenced yard is whatever you need it to be—a dog run, a garden, or a Tuesday evening with a drink and nowhere to be. Upstairs, the bedrooms are genuinely oversized (not "fits a queen if you angle it" oversized—actually oversized). 4 beds up share a 3rd full bathroom. The main house has a new HVAC ('25), fresh carpet in the main living area, well pump replaced ('25) and a freshly pumped septic in '25,: updates that aren't glamorous but ABSOLUTELY matter. And, a 3 car ATTACHED garage on the main house? Yes, please! The main house sits closer to the road than you might expect so know that going in, but once you're on the property, the setting does its job: it's peaceful, and surprisingly removed from everything while being close to everywhere you want to be.
Then, there's the all electric cottage. It has its own kitchen, laundry, full bath, lofted sleeping space and its OWN two-car garage. The cottage is genuinely move-in ready, and sparks the question: what do you want it to be? Rental income, a private retreat for a parent or independent adult child, a studio or office you can actually leave behind at the end of the day, or a guest space for friends and family....the math works a lot of different ways here. House-hack it. Multi-gen it. Live in one and let the other help carry the mortgage. This one has options most properties won't give you. The main home is currently tenant-occupied so showings take a little coordination, but it's worth it. West Geauga Schools. Seven minutes to the CF Village. One acre. Two homes. Someone's going to figure out how good this is, it might as well be you. Selling as-is.
