305 Mentor Ave Painesville, OH 44077

This 4-bedroom, 4-bath charmer sits in one of Painesville’s prettiest historic pockets—close to Steele Mansion, Veterans Park, tree-lined strolls, and all the character this neighborhood is known for. Inside, the home balances personality and practicality with hardwood floors, newly installed crown moldings that elevates every room, and a kitchen updated with newer upper cabinets, sleek black granite counters, and a fresh, bright feel that opens right into the dining space. The great room is the showstopper! It's an expansive gathering space anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace that creates a warm, effortless sense of home. Upstairs, the primary suite brings BIG retreat energy with a wall of windows, two generous closets, its own gas fireplace, and a private bath. Another ensuite bedroom on this level plus a third-floor loft-style bedroom (via a charming spiral staircase) each come with their own full baths—SUPER rare flexibility that works for guests, teens, work-from-home setups, or multigenerational living! Two laundry hookups, dual furnaces, dual A/C units, dual water heaters, and dual driveways make daily life easy and efficient. Since 2022, the sellers have layered in the meaningful updates that matter: a partially finished basement work, a reverse-osmosis system, a newer hot water tank, a full landscape refresh with new sod, a brick walkway, updated sidewalks, two improved driveways, a major new full fence investment, and a gorgeous brand-new deck. And yes—many of those outdoor upgrades are currently playing hide-and-seek under the snow, but come spring? They’re going to absolutely steal the show! A home with history, style, smart updates, and a location that makes living here feel a little bit magical. It’s the kind of home you remember long after the showing—come see why and picture your springtime reveal when all those upgrades come out of hibernation!!
