Acreage Wednesday ~ c.1873 Brick Home For Sale in Berea, OH $750,000

Brick Home For Sale! Most homes on the market don’t have 150 years of history. This one does. Sitting on 1.5 acres, this 5, 400 square foot Berea mansion has seen prohibition bootlegging, rifle fire in the basement, locally famous window graffiti from its original owner, a substantial fire on the upper level and ivy that was brought in from George Washington’s Virginia estate. Situated on the Cleveland Metroparks, this luxurious mansion is certainly one of the biggest, most impressive homes in Berea and the surrounding area.

Unique features throughout the home include original hand tacked flooring with oak, cherry and maple inlay; intricately designed brass door hardware; 12′ ceilings with elaborate plaster crown moldings; huge brass imported chandeliers; a main staircase that would make The Great Gatsby proud; a breathtaking walk-in shower; a clawfoot tub and tin stamped ceilings in the main kitchen and summer kitchen. Enjoy the surrounding wildlife from one of the three patios, two of which rest on historic Berea sandstone. The builder was a sandstone tycoon. He used it in the foundation, basement floor and bottom few feet of the structure itself.

The home has updated electrical, plumbing and the exterior of the home was tuckpointed recently. Landscaping was updated in 2020 with many new plants to compliment the massive mature rhododendrons and backyard trees. Do not miss the opportunity to become the next owner of this one of a kind historical structure. For more details contact Mark Vittardi.
