Enjoy the rich history of Gates Mills and the serenity of nature in this plaqued farmhouse built in 1844 by Thomas Demaline. The 3 BR colonial sits on 2 parcels totaling over 5 acres with a 1 BR cottage home and many tremendous convenient features. The renovated cottage, mainly done in 2016 with new paint this year, is a guest suite, office, accessory dwelling or private getaway! In the main home, many historic features still remain including original door hardware and knobs, the large metal front door key, hardwood beams, floors, and more. The exterior has fresh paint (2021) with new carpeting in the LR, front foyer, hall, stairs, and master BR (2021). On the tree lawn, an original carriage stepping stone still exists, a reminder of times when nearby residents would visit the general store across the street. The land though is the breathtaking feature w/ a fenced vegetable garden off the back of the main home and a marsh to the south, home to mallards, herons and has even been a wintertime ice skating rink! A wildflower field serves as a robust pollinator garden and the property is home to dozens of bird species. The "Great Meadow" lawn behind the cottage has been a popular event site throughout the years. Flowers will bloom from Spring through Fall and the home has a path back to the scenic Chagrin River making it feel like you have dozens of acres. A shed, old pump house, old barn foundation, etc. provide more history and use. Come see what home feels like! Welcome Home!
