Restored Tudor Revival in Cleveland Heights available for under $2.2M: House of the Week

On May 27, 2022

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — The streets of Cleveland Heights are lined with century homes with historic character and exquisite charm. You’ll find such a home at 2611 Fairmount Blvd. Designed and built by architect Joseph M. Miller in 1919-20, the home has been restored to its original grandeur by the current homeowners. Their efforts earned them a historic preservation award in 2019.

“They updated it with 21st-century conveniences in a manner sympathetic to the original character of the house,” says listing agent Karen Eagle of The Karen Eagle Group, Elite Sotheby’s International Realty. “Nothing was left untouched during the renovation and the house is truly turnkey.”

Interior updates included all new electric, plumbing and insulation, a renovated kitchen, marble bathrooms, refinished floors and the addition of central air. On the exterior, the owners installed new custom windows, redesigned the landscaping and added a pool and a fence.

“This renovation shows the broad potential for making a historic mansion relevant for a modern lifestyle while keeping original features intact,” Eagle says.

Listed at $2,195,000, the home has five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, five full. The first floor consists of a living room, dining room, solarium, family room, kitchen, mudroom and a screened porch. The spacious living room boasts hardwood floors, a wall of windows and a large fireplace, one of five in the house. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances including a double-wide fridge, prep island, plenty of cabinets and a breakfast nook with built-in seating.

The primary suite with a sitting room, balcony and full bathroom is located on the second level along with three additional bedrooms and two guest baths. Head another flight of stairs where two more bedrooms, another full bath and additional office/living space await. There is also a renovated apartment over the garage with a full bath.

The beautifully landscaped outdoor space is ideal for entertaining, highlighted by a fenced-in, multi-level sandstone deck surrounding the gunite pool, which comes with a water feature.

“Truly a magnificent home,” Eagle writes in her listing.
