The sun-lit Dining Room extends to a glorious bay-windowed alcove opening to the terrace and yard. The gourmet eat-in kitchen has abundant counter and cabinet spaces, a large center-island, a butler's pantry, and a built-in desk. A wood paneled Family Room with original built-in bookshelves and a woodburning fireplace is a cozy retreat. A well-placed powder room off the foyer adds convenience for guests.

The generous third floor, a perfect self-contained guest suite for comfort and privacy with access from the first and second floors by private staircase, has a spacious living room with a built-in desk and study area, a full bath, and another private bedroom.

AA
Single Family Residential District
Cleveland Heights is a City primarily consisting of single-family residences, most of which are owner-occupied. Single-family residences are extremely sensitive to adverse effects from other land uses and require high standards for occupancy and use of the principal building as well as location and use of accessory buildings if these areas are to be maintained and to continue to be good places in which to live. In addition, certain parts of Cleveland Heights have been developed primarily with two-family residences having a similar character to the single-family districts, and it is appropriate that there be a zoning district for this distinctive use. Single-family and two- family district regulations are established to achieve the following particular objectives: (a) The AA Single-Family District is established to provide for single-family residential uses with a minimum lot size of 15,000 square feet, compatible with the existing larger lot developments in areas so defined, as a means of preserving the unique character of these areas.;(b) The A Single-Family District is established to provide for single-family residential uses on smaller lots with a minimum of 7500 square feet.; (c) The B Two-Family District is established to permit single-family units on lots with a minimum of 7,500 square feet and two-family residential uses with a minimum lot size of 10000 square feet.; (d) To encourage as a conditional use flexible residential development to promote creative and efficient use of land through unified development.;(e) To regulate the location and lot coverage of accessory uses, buildings and structures so as to permit such uses to be established and maintained in a manner which makes them compatible with the existing residential neighborhoods.; (f) To encourage sustainable development and practices in residential neighborhoods.
