This grand brick center hall colonial is an architectural dream. Built in 1924, the home offers gracious, inviting rooms full of period character -- bright, sun-filled and open throughout. Enter the foyer to a grand staircase. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a family room and a sunroom with a second wood-burning fireplace. A large formal dining room opens to both a three-season room and the kitchen, creating an easy flow for everyday living. The expansive updated kitchen is a cook's delight -- double ovens, double sinks, a dedicated baking area, center island, sitting area and new windows overlooking the backyard and pool. The sunroom opens to a deck and pool area -- perfect for entertaining -- and the grounds include a native hummingbird garden in front and a beautiful vegetable garden in back. Upstairs, the second floor offers three bedrooms, two full baths and a convenient, spacious laundry room with storage. The third floor is its own private retreat, with two more bedrooms, a full bath and a sitting room ideal for a home office or quiet escape. Thoughtful updates throughout: concrete driveway, newer boiler, updated electrical, pool equipment, deck, and fence. The attached garage -- a true luxury in Cleveland winters -- includes an EV charger, so you go from car to kitchen without ever stepping into the snow. All of this just three blocks from Boulevard Elementary and the Nature Center, in one of Shaker Heights' most connected locations: steps from rapid transit and Larchmere's shops and dining, with an easy commute to downtown Cleveland, the universities, hospitals, and the world-class cultural hub of University Circle.
