Minimal Visual Clutter
Utilizing fine materials and smart mechanical systems enabled the sellers to achieve their goal of creating an interior design with minimal visual clutter.
Every element, from hidden outlets and switches to specialty lighting, enhances the home's sleek interior design. Hidden electrical components fold into the design of each room while carefully installed lighting accentuates the home's features and owners' works of art.
Built-in amenities also support the home’s clean lines and visual flow. A hide-away bar in the dining room blends into the design of the room while storing necessary beverages and glassware. A built-in coffee station and refrigerator in the master suite allows for convenient beverage service, while a turnaround TV stand provides viewing from either the built-in bed or the sitting area.
A thoroughly modern home office provides abundant work space, built-in storage and natural lighting from the clever window design.
Exquisite Materials
Every detail has been thoughtfully considered and carried out with excellent craftsmanship and custom mill work. Limestone and tiger maple molding, trim and railings are used consistently throughout the main level of the house. Stone counters and baseboards frame the kitchen and fiber optic lights, encased in the glass stairwell, illuminate the center hall.

About the Exterior
This home is perched on the crest of the Chagrin River bank where mature pines, 70+ rhododendrons and Japanese maples grace the property. With skies overlooking the Chagrin Valley, this 4.89 acre lot is a modern sanctuary nestled within nature, complete with access trails to the Chagrin River via a hiking path.
Certain sections of the beautifully designed brick driveway, which has been meticulously maintained, have extra reinforced concrete underneath to prevent heaving due to temperature fluctuations.
The septic system is designed to go unnoticed. Covered by dirt and grass, the system's mechanicals are hidden from view, yet easily accessed for annual tune-ups.
