Einfamilienhaus In Akron

A classic Greek Revival home built in 1840, this remarkable Bath Township gem on nearly 4 acres blends architectural character with thoughtful updates for modern living. Original details include exposed hand-hewn beams, wood floors, a gracefully curved stairway, and three first-floor fireplaces. The dining room fireplace is especially notable for its expansive brick hearth, large firebox, and historic bread oven. The inviting living room offers another gracious gathering space, while the home’s sandstone foundation and massive timber supports provide a rare glimpse of 19th-century craftsmanship. Updated in 2013, the kitchen beautifully combines old and new with exposed timbers, custom Amish-built cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile, skylight, generous island seating, pantry storage, and clever built-ins. A light-filled solarium (a favorite of the owners’) opens directly to the deck, pool, and grounds, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. Upstairs, the primary suite features a dramatic peaked ceiling, rough-hewn beams, built-in bookcases, walk-in closet, roof-parapet access, and two full baths. Two additional bedrooms continue the home’s architectural character with exposed beams and cozy nooks. Baths were remodeled in 2020. Outside, sweeping lawns, mature trees, perennial gardens, wooded areas, and a pond beneath a graceful weeping beech create an exceptionally private setting. Outdoor living includes a two-level deck overlooking the pool, pergola, brick patio, stone paths, and garden spaces. A detached three-car garage provides generous parking and storage. Additional updates include Pella windows throughout in 2008, roof in 2015 with a 50-year guarantee and lifetime labor/installation warranty, and new septic system 2017. A distinctive Bath Township property and Northeast Ohio treasure where history, craftsmanship, privacy, and gracious living come together beautifully.
