Description

Set on an incredible double lot in Chagrin Falls Schools, this mid-century modern is for people who understand that architecture is a lifestyle, not a trend. Inside, light becomes a design element. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the living and dining areas, framing the seasons like shifting artwork, while a low floating hearth fireplace sits low and sculptural, anchoring the dramatic living room. Solid wood doors with modern glass doorknobs add soft elegance, weight, and tactile authenticity throughout. Overhead, true tongue-and-groove ceilings in both the living and dining areas bring warmth and architectural depth, while refinished wood floors restore the home’s original rhythm underfoot. Chic designer light fixtures punctuate each space without interrupting its mid-century integrity. The kitchen has been completely reconfigured. Fully custom built cabinetry, minimalist hardware, and leathered quartz countertops create a space built for flow, barefoot mornings and evenings that unfold naturally. The owners suite is a study in intention. Walk in closet, a designer bath that pairs a marble vanity with an expansive tiled shower and built-in bench are softened by modern, self-lit mirrors that subtly bridge mid-century sensibility with today’s comforts. First floor laundry, 2 additional bedrooms and a spacious renovated full bath preserve the home’s seamless, single-floor living. The finished lower level introduces over 1000 more finished sqft with a rec space and 2nd family room with fireplace. The fully fenced yard feels quietly immersive. A bubbling accent pond returns in warmer months, adding soft sound and movement, while the sprawling two-tier low maintenance composite deck functions as an extension of the home. New roof ('25) & new HVAC ('25). And the carport? Not a concession—a design flex. Pull in, step out under cover, and enter the home exactly as mid-century intended. This house doesn’t try to please. It knows exactly who it’s for.
