About this property

Step into the refined elegance of this historic three-level home, meticulously crafted by homeowner and designer, the Hon. Lady "B". Nestled in a quiet residential area just 3 miles from the tranquil shores of Lake Erie, this distinguished property exudes English stately home charm at every turn. Boasting over 3000 sq ft of living space, this residence showcases original woodwork and exquisite artisan craftsmanship throughout. Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of traditional Arts & Crafts era oak wood trim and copper hardware, lovingly restored by her Ladyship herself. There are two entrances- my favorite is the welcoming front sunroom with wraparound casement windows. Marvel at the first-floor marble-faced fireplace, flanked by original leaded glass windows, perfect for cozy evenings in the sitting room. Ascend to the second-floor library, complete with another inviting fireplace, or retreat to the charming English cottage-style guest room on the third floor, bathed in natural light from its Palladian window. The heart of this home lies in its stunning 24'x14' vintage kitchen, a haven for culinary enthusiasts, while the outdoor brick patio beckons as a summer sanctuary, offering flowering shrubs, exotic spring bulbs, and expansive garden areas, ideal for the green-thumbed gardener. Accessible via a paved back alley, the two-car garage ensures year-round convenience. Whether seeking a spacious residence or considering a hospitality investment by way of short-term rental or Bed and Breakfast, this property offers unparalleled value. Enjoy the tranquility of a well-maintained neighborhood and the convenience of shopping amenities and interstate access just minutes away. With reasonable taxes and insurance rates in the temperate Great Lakes climate, this is a rare opportunity to embrace authentic craftsmanship and timeless elegance without the threat of wildfires, floods, hurricanes, or excessive heat.
