Nicely renovated classic Cleveland Heights Dutch Colonial is virtually move-in ready for homebuyers and also suitable for a savvy investor. This home blends timeless architecture with today’s modern upgrades. Enjoy fresh interior paint, luxury vinyl flooring, newer stainless steel appliances, elegant but low maintenance quartz countertops, updated baths, new windows and doors, a new roof, and a new HVAC system designed for year-round comfort.
The front porch sets a welcoming tone and invites you inside to a gracious foyer that flows seamlessly into the formal dining room and new kitchen. The oversized, light-filled living room features a wood-burning fireplace and French doors that open to a newly constructed deck overlooking the private backyard—ideal for entertaining or relaxing at home.
The fully fenced yard offers the perfect balance: spacious enough to enjoy, yet easy to maintain. For added convenience, each level of the home includes a bathroom—from the basement to the main floor and second level. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, each newly carpeted and complete with ceiling fans and softly lit wall sconces. The rear bedroom features its own newly built balcony, creating a peaceful perch for enjoying warm weather evenings.
A two-car garage and paved, wide asphalt driveway provide ample off-street parking for visiting friends and easy maneuverability for turning around to exit onto Lee Rd.
Ideally located near Cleveland’s renowned medical and educational institutions, this home is also within walking distance to Forest Hill Park, Cain Park, the city recreation center, and the vibrant shopping and dining of the Heights and Cedar-Lee corridor.
Classic charm. Modern updates. Prime location. Come see for yourself!
