    What's special

    Deck that overlooks treesFully remodeled updated electricalFresh paint throughoutTwo-zone coolingBrand-new roofEfficient oil-fired boiler
    Tucked back on 5.09 wooded acres, this home offers the kind of quiet that's hard to find so close to everything. Mornings start with birdsong instead of traffic in the first floor master; evenings end on a deck that overlooks trees, not neighbors. Inside, 4,160 square feet of freshly renovated living space — 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths — blends timeless character with everything a 2026 buyer actually wants: brand-new solid white oak hardwood (2,000 sq. ft.), two and a half fully remodeled updated electrical, fresh paint throughout, and a brand-new roof and exterior stain so the big-ticket items are already done. An efficient oil-fired boiler keeps the home comfortable through Northeast Ohio winters, with two-zone cooling for summer. Located in West Geauga Local School District, minutes from Chagrin Falls and the Geauga Park District. For those who want even more room to roam, an adjacent 8.04-acre wooded parcel is available for separate purchase. There is room to build, room to breathe, room to make it yours. All information is deemed accurate but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify all information important to their decision to purchase. Note: Adjacent 8.04 acre lot also available for purchase (MLS#:5229138)
