5785 Brookside Rd, Independence, OH 44131

Captivating mid-century ranch on a private, wooded hillside lot. 2,217 sqft of finished living space includes an upper main living level and finished walkout lower level. Pristine sought-after original features such as hardwood floors and a sandstone fireplace (converted to gas) have been thoughtfully blended with recent updates including vinyl replacement windows, laminate flooring, newer forced-air heating and central air conditioning, a newer hot water tank and recent roof. Wide picture windows in the living and master bedroom overlook a treed and rolling front yard that slopes down towards the street. The spacious and functional kitchen overlooks the grassy backyard and patio area and includes a refrigerator, range and dishwasher. The finished lower level features very recently redone family and laundry rooms along with a second full bath. The family room doubles as a guest or third bedroom. Also included on the lower level are added storage and direct access to the heated 2-car side-entry garage. The surprisingly large attic could accommodate future expansion. Secluded yet central and convenient location with easy access to I-77 and I-480 to the north, Independence boasts great city schools and services and comparatively low property taxes. The city is currently rebuilding Brookside Rd, adding curbs and sidewalks at no additional cost to the homeowner.
