A private wooded setting, a pond, and plenty of space to enjoy it all come together at this Hemlock Hills Ranch. Set on 1.51 acres in Russell Township, the home offers comfortable main-level living, inviting gathering spaces, and a walk-out lower level with a private guest/flex suite. All this within the West Geauga School District and minutes from Chagrin Falls. The big-ticket work is done, including: a new roof with full tear-off (2026), furnace (2020), central air (2021), septic (2014), added insulation, and newer patio sliders. A home warranty is included. The home offers 2,236 sq. ft. on the main level with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths; plus, a spacious 1,324 sq. ft. lower-level, including 624 finished sq. ft. in the guest suite, bringing the total finished living area to 2,860 sq. ft. The welcoming foyer opens to a generous family room with a wood-burning fireplace flanked by built-in bookshelves. The kitchen was updated in 2021 with quartz countertops, pendant and under-cabinet lighting, and a pass-through to the dining area. A second wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, where sliders open to the deck and wooded backyard. Vintage beveled French doors lead to the vaulted 3-season room with peaceful views. The primary suite features a bay window, slider to the deck, en-suite bath, and walk-in closets with built-ins. The finished walk-out lower level, renovated in 2022, provides a private guest/flex suite with bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, sitting area, separate entrance, and patio access. You’ll also find additional unfinished space for exercise, hobbies, storage, or future finishing. Outside, a private trail leads to a fire pit. Oversized 2.5-car garage. Many additional updates have been completed. Ask for the complete List of Updates. Hemlock Hills Association is a swim and tennis community where membership is optional. Conveniently located near dining, shopping, and the Village of Chagrin Falls.
