520 Parkside Dr Akron, OH 44313

Live among the treetops in this midcentury modern raised ranch, designed by an architect and home to one of the area's premier interior designers. A rear deck spans the width of the house, providing an ever-changing view of a ravine in Sand Run Metro Park. The living room-dining room combination on the main level has an open-beamed ceiling with V-grooved Douglas fir planks and beams, a stone fireplace and generous windows that bring the outdoors in. A skylight brightens the kitchen, which it outfitted with custom cabinets; a Jenn-Air refrigerator, cooktop and oven with convection option; a Viking microwave/convection oven; and a Bosch dishwasher. Also on the main level are the primary bedroom, a second bedroom currently used as an office, and bathrooms cleverly designed so a door separates the half bath from the primary bath, allowing two occupants to have separate vanity areas. On the lower level, an above-grade family room offers an ideal gathering spot, complete with wet bar, wood-burning fireplace with gas starter and custom built-ins housing a TV, AV equipment and even a microwave for popping corn. The lower level also has a full bath, a utility/laundry room and two additional bedrooms, one with a raised floor and built-in headboard that can be removed. The house feels secluded, yet it's a short drive to West Akron and Montrose shopping areas, restaurants and recreational facilities. A pre-listing home inspection has already been completed for your peace of mind.
