About This Home

As of December 2025

This custom-built white brick ranch sits on one of Elyria’s most desirable streets. Spanning over 2,300 square feet, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath midcentury modern gem features floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the interior with natural light and luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. Recent updates include a new electrical panel (2024), roof (2020), and furnace and A/C (2018). Inside, you’ll find a formal dining room, first-floor laundry, and a spacious kitchen with built-in double ovens plus both gas and electric cooking options. The vaulted living room features a wood-burning fireplace insert and opens to a bright sunroom overlooking the private backyard oasis. Step outside to a fenced backyard retreat complete with an above-ground pool, hot tub, concrete patio, grilling pavilion, and river rock landscaping. With all the big-ticket updates already done, don’t miss your chance to own a true architectural standout in Eastern Heights!
