Masterfully updated colonial in Carpenter Heights, just across the Cuyahoga Falls border, this beautiful brick home was built with Stan Hywett features—rounded moulding, beveled glass doors, and a locally-sourced fieldstone fireplace. Inside, the kitchen was completely remodeled in 2008 and includes an eat-in area with a custom, built-in electric fireplace using the original cabinetry. The dining room will hold your table for large gatherings, and the parlor/living room and solarium provide bright entertaining and office space. Upstairs, the master bedroom has an open, walk-in closet and its own fireplace. Two more ample bedrooms and the new bathroom round out the second floor. The third floor boasts a ‘servant’s quarters’ bedroom with its own full mid-century modern en suite, and a separate cedar closet to store your prized attire. The updates in the past 13 years are extensive and professionally crafted, from the completely updated plumbing and electrical bones, to the gorgeous upstairs bathroom renovation in 2020. The roof, many windows (Pella), Weil-McLain boiler, and new 2nd/3rd floor A/C unit make this home super-efficient. Relax in your outdoor living space on your (2011) patio, listen to the water feature and watch the birds (incl. a family of orioles) flock in from the gorge behind the allotment. Your 2-car extra-wide garage has storage upstairs, and the front exterior stone wall comes from a Portage County farmhouse. Make this wonderfully cared-for home your own!
