About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome to this stunning custom-built lakefront home with 233 ft of private frontage on Turkeyfoot Lake & over 4,400 square ft of finished living space across 4 well-designed levels. Perfectly positioned, this exceptional home captures unobstructed, year-round views of the lake from nearly every floor, blending timeless architecture, & purposeful design—ideal for entertaining, hosting, or multi-generational living.
The heart of the home is the impressive two-story living room, where dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows bring in natural light and frame expansive lake views. A gas fireplace adds warmth, while direct access to the full, multi-tiered deck allows for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Off the living room, a private gazebo offers a quiet, shaded retreat surrounded by manicured landscaping. A formal dining room is ideal for gatherings and sits adjacent to the eat-in kitchen—equipped with granite counters, a walk-in pantry, two-story windows, and generous workspace. Upstairs, the primary suite provides privacy and comfort, with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. Two additional bedrooms share a full bath, and the convenient second-floor laundry adds everyday function. A separate third-floor guest suite offers a private sitting area, electric fireplace, and a spa-like bath with a jacuzzi tub for two—making it ideal for long-term guests, live-in relatives, or visiting family. The finished walk-out lower level includes a great room with wood-burning fireplace, wet bar with dishwasher, half bath, and a private entrance.
Outside, enjoy a beautifully maintained courtyard, large boathouse with porch-style seating, & private boat slip. Recognized for its architectural appeal and legacy, this home was featured on the cover of Overton Magazine (2002), noted in People, Places & History of Summit County, and featured by America’s Castles in 2015.
This is more than a home—it’s a rare lakefront opportunity in one of Northeast Ohio’s most cherished waterfront communities.
