Curb appeal. One-of-a-kind custom Victorian home in a setting passers slow down to enjoy. The house sits in the middle of a beautiful parcel of land adorned with mature maples and oaks, sprawling lawn and pristine woodlands. A creek flows continually across the back of the property through the woods. The driveway is lined with hearty Cleveland pears that flower in the spring. Gorgeous in any season but especially autumn when the symphony of color surrounds the house. Just a mile away from M-21 for easy access yet off the beaten path enough to feel remote and offer privacy and quiet serenity.

Meant to entertain. The house features a large octagonal turret on all three floors with windows all around on the two upper floors and its own peaked roof. A custom curved oak staircase rises dramatically from the foyer to meet a bridge connecting the ends of the upper floor while on the main floor wide arched doorways connect the large parlor, formal dining room, breakfast nook and a large kitchen. Oak and glass French doors connect the parlor and dining room for flexibility. A guest room, full bath and huge laundry/mud room complete the main floor. The foyer and parlor have newly installed oak flooring. The dining room, breakfast nook and kitchen have newly installed vinyl tile flooring. Newly renovated kitchen features quartz countertops with undermount sink, large island, smart gas range/double oven, and abundant storage in beautiful custom solid wood cabinets. Bathroom and laundry/mudroom also newly renovated with radiant heated ceramic tile flooring.

Upstairs the master suite commands a 270 degree view of the property and beyond thanks to the windowed turret and offers ample space for bedroom furniture and a sitting area in which to enjoy the custom built-in gas fireplace The master bath features a double vanity, walk-in shower and large whirlpool tub. The walk-in closet offers plenty of storage. Across the bridge from the master suite are a walk-in cedar closet, a small office and an additional bedroom.
