Only 20 minutes to downtown Cleveland, this extraordinary George Brown mini estate is located in the heart of Gates Mills Village. Built in 1905, this home is a prime example of the Craftsman movement, favoring Bungalow styles with detailed craftsmanship in all areas. The field stone walls, inside and out, the conical tower with curved front door and custom tile roof, the lead glass windows, as well as the carved wood interior trim, all represent what the movement was about: local natural materials and visibility of handicraft. Wood floors were made from harvested maple and straight grain old growth Douglas fir trees, right off the property. Round Porthole windows built into the stone, a berth bed built right into a wall, and paneled ceilings in the family room, all nod to Brown's love of nautical details. This 4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath home sits on 2.5 manicured acres with an in-ground Gunite pool with Marcite finish, an in-ground hot tub, a studio building converted into a professional quality sauna (2008), a combined pool house/working greenhouse, and a 4 car garage with a summer sleeping room with bathroom, above. This special property feels like a vacation home through the summer months, and buttons up into a cozy abode during our Cleveland winters. Designated as a 'Legacy Home', in 2010, by the Gates Mills Historical Society. Ask agent for extensive list of improvements since 2007. Owner/Agent.
