Description

Truly a Landmark in the Village of Chagrin Falls, set on over half an acre in the heart of town. Built in 1905 in the Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie style, this residence is known as the historic Sheridan Harris House, tied to one of the families who shaped the Village’s early businesses and buildings. A welcoming front porch offers a perfect vantage point to enjoy the Village’s Memorial Day Parade or Blossom Time race. Inside, the craftsmanship is undeniable. The foyer showcases a stunning leaded-glass front door, sweeping staircase and a landing crowned by a leaded feature window with stained-glass insets. A living room framed by fluted columns features a decorative fireplace and built-in glass-fronted cabinet. An inviting library glows with rich wood paneling and fireplace surrounded by original handmade green glazed tile that also accents the entry vestibule. Formal dining room with beamed ceiling, wood paneling, and leaded-glass built-ins provides an elegant setting. A European-inspired kitchen is a dream, outfitted with custom SieMatic German cabinetry, granite counters, tile backsplash, large center island and a charming breakfast area beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling and arched window. A butler’s pantry with floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, two first-floor half baths, mudroom, laundry and rare attached 3 car garage all add convenience. Upstairs, the expansive owner’s suite is a retreat offering a light-filled bedroom, 4 walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with glass-enclosed shower, soaking tub and porcelain vanity. Adjoining sitting room or office adds flexibility. The original portion of the home provides 4 additional charming, spacious and light-filled bedrooms, two beautiful baths and an incredible finished 3rd floor rec room all that blend seamlessly with the addition. A clean, expansive basement delivers versatile space for storage and more. Lovingly cared for, this remarkable home represents a chance to own a Chagrin Falls treasure, steps from the Village.
