Property Description

Situated on 3.5 acres along the Bratenahl coast of Lake Erie, this gilded-age grande dame underwent an extensive year-long transformation where the greatest of care was taken to bring the home into the 21st century. From the newly built bluestone patio and pool to the meticulously restored original door hardware, no detail was overlooked in perfecting this exquisite property. The grand front entry opens into an exquisite entrance hall where the full grandeur of the home is revealed. A testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era, each wall is a work of art adorned with intricate carvings, a symphony of imported walnut and oak. Spectacular cut glass leaded windows, a hallmark of the first floor, cast prismatic light into the rooms, creating an ever-changing interplay of color and shadow. The grand dining room, equally impressive, boasts another fireplace and accordion doors that open into a breathtaking sunroom with polished marble floors and a stunning leaded amber glass skylight. Outside, a stone terrace steps down to the wet set bluestone patio and heated pool with a view of the lake and exquisite grounds beyond. A state-of-the-art Control4 smart home system has been seamlessly integrated, providing convenience and control at the touch of a button. Nearly every element of the home has been replaced or restored. All bedroom suites have been luxuriously equipped and can be found on the second floor. The third floor and lower level have been incredibly reimagined as entertaining areas for modern living. The original ballroom has been repurposed as a modern game room and home theater, and the lower level now functions as a private playground complete with a billiards room, a poker area, a bar with a temperature controlled wine cellar and tasting room, and a fitness center with a sauna. The original gate house has been beautifully restored into a 2-bedroom guest cottage.
