Some homes are defined by square footage. This one is defined by the way it lives. Set on just over an acre in North Royalton, this distinctive home combines thoughtful craftsmanship, surprising space and a backyard that feels like a private retreat. Inside, solid wood doors, wide maple and oak trim, and maple tongue-and-groove flooring bring warmth and character throughout. The kitchen pairs solid maple cabinetry and granite countertops with stainless appliances new in 2025, opening to a bright dining area and the vaulted family room addition - an inviting space surrounded by windows and views of the property. The flexible first floor also offers two bedrooms, a remodeled full bath and generous living space, while upstairs is devoted to an expansive primary suite added in 1995. Here, a walk-in cedar closet and private bath with marble floor, separate ceramic-tiled shower and Pearl whirlpool tub create a retreat of its own. Outside is where this property becomes truly special. A spacious multi-level deck overlooks mature landscaping and a picturesque pond with a waterfall, water lilies, irises and goldfish. Beyond it, the deep 1+ acre lot offers a balanced space of openness and wooded privacy. Then there are the garages - TWO GARAGES WITH SPACE FOR UP TO 5 CARS depending on size, both with 220V service for electric car charging, plus attic storage in the rear garage. Ideal for the collector, hobbyist, workshop or someone who can never have enough storage. Major improvements add substance behind the charm: Newer lifetime-shingle roof and 18 SOLAR PANELS installed in 2018, 200-amp electrical service, updated plumbing and electrical, indirect stainless-steel water heater, boiler, water softener and even a separate well dedicated to exterior landscaping while the home itself is served by public water. FULL UPDATE LIST AVAILABLE Refreshingly different and exceptionally functional, this is the home for you to relax and enjoy.
