Tucked away on over an acre in Merriman Hills, this classic center hall Colonial blends timeless character with modern upgrades, the perfect canvas for your creative vision. Set on a picturesque cobblestone street just minutes from Stan Hywet, Highland Square, and downtown Akron, the home offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Step inside to discover rich original hardwood floors, intricate crown moldings, built-ins, and ornate woodwork that speaks to the home’s craftsmanship. With a solid foundation and many valuable updates already taken care of—including a newer roof, windows, siding, HVAC, and water heater—this home is ready for its next chapter. The main level is full of inviting spaces and details to delight: multiple fireplaces, French doors with painted doorknobs, and large windows throughout. Upstairs, you will find five bedrooms and three full bathrooms. All bedrooms have hardwood floors under the carpet, and one bedroom has been outfitted with shelving for a custom walk-in closet / dressing room, but could easily be repurposed as a home office. Tucked behind the home is an oversized driveway leading to a spacious 3-car attached garage. Above the garage, a large recreation room with a bath offers flexible space for a studio, guest suite, or office. This wing connects to the main house through a laundry / workshop area and charming greenhouse—just imagine the possibilities! Whether you're drawn to the historic architecture, the lush surroundings, or the chance to plant roots in Merriman Hills—this is your opportunity to reimagine a true Akron classic.
