Designed by esteemed architect Norman Askins, this 4-bedroom, 5.5-bathroom estate has been cherished by only two owners since its creation, and every inch reflects the care they gave it.
Set on +/- 5.36 private acres in Cleveland, the 6,400 sq ft residence blends Southern charm and architectural excellence with land that feels genuinely alive. Mature hardwoods, vibrant Japanese maples, and professionally landscaped grounds frame a property that doesn't feel designed, it feels discovered.
A wood shake roof, custom stone steps, and a beautifully manicured courtyard welcome you before you step inside. Within, coffered ceilings, granite countertops, marble and natural slab finishes, and a sun-filled turret-style sunroom with all new windows pull the outside in at every angle. The kitchen is built for real use and serious hosting, featuring all new appliances, a gas cooktop, and double ovens. The billiard room anchors a custom black walnut wet bar, and multiple fireplaces add warmth to every season. The primary suite offers dual spa-inspired bathrooms, one with a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and heated floors, the other a luxurious walk-in shower, plus motorized blackout blinds for restful nights.
Then there's the land. Two year-round creeks wind quietly through the property, converging around a private, stocked half-acre pond where trout and bass move beneath still water. A cascading waterfall spills into a koi pond with fountain, and canopies of decades-old hardwoods filter the light in a way that changes with every season. At dusk, the outdoor lighting brings the whole landscape to life. A garden shed and chicken coop complete a setting that feels less like a yard and more like a world of its own.
Sit on the pondside deck. Listen to the water. You won't want to leave.
