Résidence Unifamiliale à Akron

Set on a double lot in one of Akron’s most desirable pockets, Merriman Valley, this all-brick custom home has been meticulously updated and shows like new. A marble-floored entry foyer welcomes you in, leading to a formal living room and dining room finished with crown molding, hardwood floors, a fireplace, and windows that fill both spaces with natural light. The kitchen is the true showpiece. A chef’s dream with a massive center island, walk-in pantry, cherry cabinetry throughout, all-new stainless appliances including a smart refrigerator, quartz counters, and a built-in desk nook. It opens directly into a generous eating area and a striking two-story great room, complete with a lofted library overlooking the space, which can be accessed via its own private staircase, a beautiful fireplace with a gorgeous mantel and wood paneling, a wet bar, and a full wall of French doors framing the rear entrance and yard. Upstairs is accessible via front and back staircases, plus an elevator. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, including the main primary master suite and an additional bedroom with its own private full bath, giving you two master suite options; plus, one bedroom has a large bonus room perfect for a playroom or home office. Bathrooms have been renovated, and a laundry room adds convenience. The primary owner’s suite stands out, featuring a large walk-in closet, a spa-like bath, and its own fireplace with a black walnut mantel. The finished lower level adds even more flexible living space, which is ideal for a home theater, gym, or entertainment area. Outside, the large yard and rear patio are made for summer entertaining. The location can’t be beat: stroll to Portage Country Club, enjoy nearby state parks, and Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens is just down the road. Plus, free private school tuition opportunities in Akron’s elite private schools. Move-in ready and truly one of a kind, this home has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
