There's something so comforting when you enter a home that has been lovingly cared for over time. This Willoughby Hills ranch is ready for its next chapter. Mature landscaping frames the home's beautiful front elevation, and once you're inside, the water is visible from just about everywhere, like every room was built to know exactly where the pond was and turn you toward the view. Nearly 2,000 sqft of single-level living with vaulted ceilings that lift the rooms while still being cozy. The great room is anchored around a fireplace with the pond stretched out behind it through windows. A slider opens onto a deck you will absolutely lose entire weekends to. Morning coffee turns into watching a heron work the shoreline, which then turns into lunch with fresh tomatoes from the garden, which turns into watching the light turn gold and sunset pink across the water and your to-do list left for tomorrow. Back inside, the eat-in kitchen has both generous workspace and cabinetry and connects to the dining and living spaces with clear sightlines to the water AND your guests. The primary suite has its own ensuite bath and that same feeling of retreat. 2 additional bedrooms on the main level are perfect for guest rooms, a home office, den or craft room and also a 1st floor laundry and two car attached garage. And then, the lower level. Whether you're making room for a parent to live closer, a kid coming back from college, guests who stay for a stretch, or a killer Super Bowl party, the lower level gives you a whole second home footprint to work with. Walk out access, a 2nd kitchen, 4th bedroom, a family room with fireplace a full bathroom and a workshop. This is the kind of home that feels like you've been here before. The kind of house where someone always left the porch light on for you and the kitchen smells like something delicious just came out of the oven.
