Live among the treetops in this 1963 zen-inspired getaway!
One-of-a-kind home built by an architect and one of Akron's premier interior designers. Tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood on a quiet cul de sac, this 4 bedroom split-level ranch is well suited for families and entertaining. Central location makes it easy to access amenities and explore all Northeast Ohio has to offer.
We love this place and know you will too!
The space
One-of-a-kind stay in the beautiful forest of Northeast Ohio. The home sits on the back of the property and overlooks a creek and tree filled ravine in 100 year old Sand Run Metro Park. Centrally located just minutes from grocery stores, dining, shopping, highway access, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Simple midcentury design lets the natural landscape shine through. Huge windows, 2 decks, and a back patio make it easy to enjoy the spectacular view. Walk straight from the living room and primary bedroom onto the huge upper deck spanning the entire north side of the house. The property is sprayed with an all natural bug deterrent every three weeks - yes, that means absolutely NO mosquitos or ticks while you enjoy the outdoors!
Amazing lower level entertainment room with huge couch, Roku TV, wet bar with mini fridge, popcorn microwave, wood burning fireplace with gas starter, and eat in counter behind couch. Sliding glass doors lead from entertainment room onto back patio with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and overhead string lights for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. A hallway door separates lower level bedrooms from entertainment room so kids can sleep soundly while parents socialize (or vice versa!).
Beautiful renovated chef's kitchen with high end appliances and everything you need to cook a meal from scratch. All season access to built-in gas grill on covered deck just steps away from kitchen. Fully stocked coffee and tea station always available.
Each bedroom was designed to highlight an important aspect of Akron's natural history. Every bedroom has a large closet for luggage storage and clothing hangers.
Pack n' Play with mattress/sheets and a high chair are available to every guest.
Guests have full access to laundry room with washer, dryer, utility sink, iron, and ironing board.
