A rare opportunity to own a home built by Bob Schmidt, an iconic Westside Cleveland builder whose homes are no longer being constructed today. Thoughtfully preserved over the years, this home offers the space, layout, lot, and architectural character to create something truly special. Set on an oversized corner lot at the corner of a cul-de-sac, the property offers a wonderful sense of privacy along with your own private courtyard. A brand-new driveway and walkway welcome you to the home. Inside, the expansive family room and dining room provide an incredible foundation for today’s modern lifestyle. With soaring openness, a fireplace, abundant windows, natural light, and additional storage, this space is perfectly suited for entertaining and could be transformed into a stunning gathering space. The kitchen opens to a second dining area and offers an exceptional amount of storage, including a massive pantry. A sliding glass door leads directly to the private courtyard, creating an opportunity to bring the indoors and outdoors together in a whole new way. Imagine the possibilities with this space! A dedicated laundry room and half bath add convenience near the front of the home. The bedroom wing features three generous bedrooms, highlighted by an impressive primary suite with its own private bathroom and walk-in closet. This is a home where you can bring your vision to life. With its desirable cul-de-sac setting, oversized lot, private courtyard, generous rooms, thoughtful floor plan, and Bob Schmidt craftsmanship, the possibilities are endless. Bring your ideas and transform this well-preserved home into something uniquely yours. Furnace 2018

About Mills Creek
East
Mills Creek East, located between Mills Creek Lane and Center Ridge Road, is a residential and suburban North Ridgeville neighborhood with curving cul-de-sacs and pond-dotted green space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Center Ridge Road corridor near Mills Creek Lane, where everyday errands cluster in a low-slung retail strip atmosphere. Housing reads as late-20th and 21st-century builds with attached garages, tidy setbacks, and sidewalks that link pocket greens. The landscape stays gently rolling, with tree lines and drainage ponds shaping the blocks. For a local night out, nearby pillars include The Cornerstone Brewing Company, the North Ridgeville Branch Library, and the North Ridgeville Parks & Recreation fields at South Central Park.
