Welcome to your storybook retreat in the heart of Merriman Hills. Built in 1928, this timeless home is filled with character and warmth- featuring hardwood floors, a brick fireplace framed by built-ins, and a cozy sunroom bathed in natural light. The kitchen is both functional and stylish with newer recessed lighting and stainless-steel appliances, tile flooring and an eat-in area flanked with beautiful corner built-in shelving. A versatile, finished 3rd floor feels like a secret escape- offering more bright and airy space for work, play or rest. Even more living space in the basement rec room + 4th bedroom/office. Outside, the magic continues. Lush landscaping, charming brick driveway, new roof and gutters (2020), new front door, freshly power-washed exterior and paint on covered front porch/steps make for stunning curb appeal. The backyard is private and completely enclosed with wooden privacy fence. Located on a sidewalk-lined street in one of Akron's most beloved neighborhoods, Merriman Hills is known for its tree-canopied streets, historic homes, and a peaceful, well-established atmosphere. Residents love the close proximity to parks (Canyon Trail Park is located at the bottom of the road!), local shops, dining, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Akron history in a neighborhood that captures hearts! Home warranty included! Come experience this home for yourself and schedule your showing today.
As far as warm welcomes go, it's going to be difficult to beat this colonial style home. This pleasant spot is nestled in one of the most desirable parts of west Akron, Merriman Hills. You're smack dab in the middle of everything. So close to all of the Highland Square happenings and equally near is the trails of the Cuyahoga Valley National Parks. Leading up to the home is the original brick driveway, and it's in exceptional condition, too. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully laid out living space, charming archways, built-in bookcases, and, of course, hardwood floors. The kitchen has been fully updated, so you can easily whip up a dish and have a glass of something cold on a warm night. There are plenty of bedrooms throughout to hold your people, plus a bonus third floor that could be used as a play room or extra storage, if you need it. The lower level has an ideal set up. The main area can be a theater room with the included tv projector and surround sound. The current owners are in
