Iconic Mid-Mod West Akron Home Amazing Location!

Live among the treetops in this 1963 zen-inspired getaway!

One-of-a-kind home built by an architect and one of Akron's premier interior designers. Tucked away in a beautiful neighborhood on a quiet cul de sac, this 4 bedroom split-level ranch is well suited for families and entertaining. Central location makes it easy to access amenities and explore all Northeast Ohio has to offer.

We love this place and know you will too!
The space
One-of-a-kind stay in the beautiful forest of Northeast Ohio. The home sits on the back of the property and overlooks a creek and tree filled ravine in 100 year old Sand Run Metro Park. Centrally located just minutes from grocery stores, dining, shopping, highway access, and Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Simple midcentury design lets the natural landscape shine through. Huge windows, 2 decks, and a back patio make it easy to enjoy the spectacular view. Walk straight from the living room and primary bedroom onto the huge upper deck spanning the entire north side of the house. The property is sprayed with an all natural bug deterrent every three weeks - yes, that means absolutely NO mosquitos or ticks while you enjoy the outdoors!

Amazing lower level entertainment room with huge couch, Roku TV, wet bar with mini fridge, popcorn microwave, wood burning fireplace with gas starter, and eat in counter behind couch. Sliding glass doors lead from entertainment room onto back patio with fire pit, Adirondack chairs, and overhead string lights for seamless indoor/outdoor entertaining. A hallway door separates lower level bedrooms from entertainment room so kids can sleep soundly while parents socialize (or vice versa!).

Beautiful renovated chef's kitchen with high end appliances and everything you need to cook a meal from scratch. All season access to built-in gas grill on covered deck just steps away from kitchen. Fully stocked coffee and tea station always available.

Each bedroom was designed to highlight an important aspect of Akron's natural history. Every bedroom has a large closet for luggage storage and clothing hangers.

Pack n' Play with mattress/sheets and a high chair are available to every guest.

Guests have full access to laundry room with washer, dryer, utility sink, iron, and ironing board.

Unbeatable location.

The house was everything we hoped for. It was relaxing with the back porch facing the woods. The fire pit area was peaceful.

Super groovy and wonderful!
My college friends and I went to see the PRETENDERS in Akron and it was a great show! But what made it better? Staying at this amazing mid-century modern house. We’d love the details of the original interior and it was clean and well equipped.

Rohrs stay
Great place to relax, plenty of room to gather on all levels. Would be great if all the queen beds were king. Cooling system could use an update, very cold down stairs and almost to warm upstairs and for sleeping. Would be nice to have a list off local restaurants and things to do. Other than that great stay.

Quiet and Peaceful
Our stay was wonderful! The location is conveniently located for shopping and hiking on the trails near Sand Run Park. It feels like an oasis hidden among the trees, you wouldn’t know it was a residential neighborhood. The little extra amenities available were a nice treat should you forgot something. Would love to stay again when back in Fairlawn visiting family.

Great house in the woods.
Off the beaten path but close to it all, a great house tucked into the woods. Plenty of room to spread out, relax, and enjoy time with each other. The house had plenty of extras to make you feel at home while away from home. Older home charm with a fully updated kitchen and appliances. Would stay here again in a different season to be able to enjoy the outdoors more. It was a cold weekend in Ohio during our stay.
