Contemporary, Conventional, Split Level

Nestled on a quiet dead-end street within view of Walls Elementary School, this custom cedar-clad home is truly one of a kind. With over 3,000 square feet of living space, it blends timeless character with forward-thinking design that was well ahead of its time. The open-concept first floor lends itself beautifully to entertaining and gatherings around the holidays, with spaces that flow seamlessly from one room to the next. The sunken living room is the showpiece, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a soaring open ceiling that extends to the second floor. The living room and adjoining formal dining room boast parquet wood floors, adding warmth and charm. The large eat-in kitchen includes a long island and a peek-a-boo wall connecting it to the living room — creating an airy, social atmosphere. Just off the kitchen is a cozy family room with a wood-burning fireplace and access to both a balcony and an enclosed porch overlooking the private, wooded backyard. A powder room and oversized two-car garage complete the main level. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a private balcony, his and hers closets and an ensuite master bath with a unique and clever design that adjoins it with the second full hall bathroom and separates both by a pocket door for added versatility. The upper level also has a convenient laundry area tucked into a hall closet, a loft-style hallway overlooking the living room below, and a practical corner bonus room/study/office with built-in bookcases. The partially finished basement offers even more flexibility with a rec room and full bath, perfect for guests, hobbies, or movie nights. Located just off Main Street, this home offers a rare blend of privacy, architectural interest, and proximity to Kent State University. For those seeking a spacious home that stands out from the crowd, this Kent original is not to be missed!
