227 S Messner Rd Akron, OH 44319

On a quiet horseshoe-shaped road in one of America's Safest Cities, sits a unique Cape Cod unlike any other on the block. Upon entering the south-facing front living room, the original hardwood floor leads the way to the sunken family room that sits perpendicular to both the front room and the eat-in kitchen with its updated countertops and cabinetry, newer plumbing and lighting fixtures, and stainless steel appliances. With the addition of the family room, the option exists to designate the living room as a formal dining area.  At the rear northeast corner, just beyond where the kitchen and family room intersect are doors leading to an enclosed four seasons room and the attached oversized garage. Upstairs is a dedicated 31x10 owners suite with vaulted ceilings, wall-to-wall wood floors, a built-in dresser and linen closet, and a built-in bookshelf and walk-in closet. If the massive 2nd-floor bedroom isn't enough, there is an 8x11 en suite with his and her vanities, a walk-in shower, and more of those gorgeous wood floors. This modified Cape Cod can only properly be described as a Cape Mod. And there's more... The distribution panel was replaced with a 200 amp service in 2021. In May of 2022, ceiling fans were installed in every first-floor room, and whole-house foam and blown-in attic insulation were added. Finally, the Well Rite extra large pressure tank was installed in 2022 and in February 2024 a full septic replacement was completed. After replacing the entire west foundation wall in 2021, waterproofing inside and out, and replacing the downspouts and drainage, half of the basement was finished into a 30x11 rec room in 2023, and exterior and interior painting proved the final touches to the home by our current homeowner. The over half-acre lot is conducive to productive family activities and entertaining alike. This home is clean, updated, and structurally sound and Manchester Local Schools and the City of New Franklin are highly regarded. Come see for yourself
