You're going to be excited about this 2 for 1 set-up only a 7 minute drive to downtown Chagrin Falls. The house has a 1st floor bedroom with ensuite, 1st floor laundry, pantry, 2nd full bathroom, formal living, dining & family room. There are treetop views through sliding rear doors off the family room, and the fenced yard is whatever you need it to be — a dog run, a garden, or a Tuesday evening with a drink and nowhere to be. Upstairs, the bedrooms are genuinely oversized (not "fits a queen if you angle it" oversized — actually oversized). 4 beds up share a 3rd full bathroom. The main house has a new HVAC ('25), well pump replaced ('25) and a freshly pumped septic in '25 — updates that aren't glamorous but ABSOLUTELY matter. And a 3 car ATTACHED garage? Yes, please! The house sits closer to the road than you might expect so know that going in, but once you're on the property, the setting does its job: it's peaceful, and surprisingly removed from everything while being close to everywhere you want to be. Then there's the all electric bonus cottage. It has its own kitchen, laundry, full bath and loft and its OWN two-car garage. The cottage is the kind of bonus space that makes you rethink what a property can do. A private retreat for a parent or independent adult child, a studio or office you can actually leave behind at the end of the day, a guest space that gives everyone their own front door — the math works a lot of different ways here. This property has options most properties won't give you. West Geauga Schools. Seven minutes to the CF Village. One acre. Someone's going to figure out how good this is — it might as well be you. Selling as-is.
