Description
This first-time offered, custom-built home is a true mid-century modern gem located in the sought-after Briar Lake neighborhood. From its hilltop perch on a half-acre lot overlooking Finwood Forest Park, the 5-bedroom, 3.5 bath split-level offers a serene and private setting, though it is just minutes from Lorain County Community College and Interstate 90. A vaulted entry welcomes you with a wood-beamed ceiling and skylight, creating a warm and inviting first impression. The living room features a stunning see-through stone gas fireplace and a wall of windows that showcase breathtaking views of the woods and ravine. The eat-in kitchen includes cherry cabinetry, a pantry, and a built-in desk area, and opens to the formal dining room, which also enjoys the ambiance of the see-through fireplace. The lower-level family room is complimented by a brick fireplace and wet bar—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step into the vaulted three-season sunroom, an ideal space for gatherings. Additional highlights include a den with built-ins, a spacious game room, a large laundry room with cabinetry, and a built-in sauna. The owner’s suite offers a deluxe bath with a large vanity, newer walk-in shower, and two closets. Outdoors, a large deck provides the perfect setting to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings and beautiful views. The property includes an option to join the Briar Lake Association, which offers access to the nearby 3-acre lake and all of its recreational amenities.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Elyria City Schools offers a wide range of classes for general education as well as many Honors and AP options and dual enrollment classes. They have over 60 clubs that all students are welcome to join. Their band, drama, and other arts programs are second to none. They send children to the top universities in the country. There was a student a few years ago that was chosen to go to Sweden to work on the CERN Large Hadron Collider. He was one of only ten college students chosen throughout the country and he credits his Science teacher at Elyria High for sparking his interest in Physics. More than one student has come back to teach at Elyria High due to the influence of their teachers. There are an impressive number of students graduating with Top Honors and millions of dollars are awarded every year for scholarships. They have a 90% graduation rate which is practically unheard of in an urban district. If you want your child learning in a diverse environment with many opportunities and taught by an outstanding, highly qualified staff in a new state of the art building I would highly recommend Elyria High School.Parent Review9y ago - Northwood Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis has to be my most favorite school because 1.They talk to bullies and the victim of the bully. (After that I was no longer bullied the rest of the year!) 2.The staff ther are really nice,kind,and funny. 3.The staff helps you work at your own pace and try to help you understand. 4.They let you stay afterschool to get extra help on homework or anything else. 5.The principle is really kind and funny. 6.The office is open until somewhere around 5:15. 7.there is a Horizon Afterschool program with clubs and extra curricular help and homework time for 45 mins so you can do your homework. 8.There is 2-3 choices of lunch choices and 4-5 choices of Fruits/Veggies.Other Review11y ago - Windsor Elementary School
