Property Description

If Colorado ever claimed a winter retreat in Ohio, THIS would be it. Set on just over 5 wooded acres along storybook Griswold Creek, this property feels cinematic year-round?and especially magical in winter. Snow settles on the evergreens while the creek keeps moving below, and the landscape stays equal parts peaceful and alive, with deer and fox passing through a constantly shifting canvas. Inside, the home unfolds across more than 6,000 total finished square feet with a ranch-style layout that lives beautifully on one level, plus a fully finished walkout lower level with a complete in-law suite?ideal for multigenerational living, guests, or extended stays. The main level includes a first-floor primary suite with water views, a dedicated office, 1st floor laundry, and two guest bedrooms that share a full bath?offering everyday functionality without sacrificing flow. Vaulted ceilings crown the great room, where one of the home's most striking architectural features takes center stage?the open-sided fireplace surrounded by walls of glass. It's equal parts sculpture and gathering place, framing views of the wraparound deck, towering trees, and the creek beyond. A wraparound main-level deck and lower-level screened porch invite year-round outdoor living, from snowy mornings with coffee to summer evenings lit by fireflies flickering in the trees that surround you. With some major updates already done: (new roof '25, a new Kinetico water system '25, and 2 new hot water tanks '25), you can simply enjoy the setting and decide, at your own pace, how to make it yours. This is a home with rock-solid construction, thoughtful proportions, and a layout and location that's increasingly hard to find. Live comfortably as-is and enjoy its retro character, or reimagine it with a modern vision to match the million-dollar estates that surround it. Located in the heart of the Chagrin Valley, this one-of-a-kind setting is private, timeless, and impossible to replicate.
