Description

If a house could tell a story, this one would have generations of a family at its center. It would tell of weddings and celebrations, kids returning home and grandparents growing old surrounded by the people they love. This remarkable home has been in the same family for over 60 years. It has grown and changed to support the people living in it. Perched on a hill across from Lake Hodgson with magnificent views, this 2-acre family complex is made up of three distinct buildings. The main home was built in 1901 and features 5 bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A separate building houses a one-bedroom guest house that is perfect for generational living with a spectacular custom library above. The third building consists of a spacious art studio on top and a heated workshop or extra garage below. The previous owner of this home was an accomplished woodworker and evidence of his skill and care is scattered throughout the home. Be sure to take a moment to appreciate the lake view as you enter through the two-story enclosed front porch. This vista of the lake is truly unmatched and every window at the front of the house has access to it. It is framed like a painting in the bright family room, surrounded by custom woodwork and thoughtful built-ins. Catch a glimpse of it from the formal dining room that features gleaming hardwoods and coffered ceilings. You will feel like you are on a ship when you stand in the large second story bedroom (formerly an office) because all you see is the lake. The back yard is private and stone paths lead to the other two buildings, two-car garage and shed. Plenty of room for campfires in the firepit and working in the garden back here. Open the door to the library from the second story deck and imagine yourself settling in with a book in this beautiful and quiet space while looking at the lake. There is even a small half bath in the library. Come see if this wonderful home is the next setting for YOUR story. I am sure you will like what you find.

    "A fence is important. Houses are kinda close. Other dogs. I have 3. And I only walk one at a time because not everyone leashes and I want to make sure I can control the situation. "
  • Chesterdonell419
    "Cause everything is right around And can feel safe and not have to worry to much about fights or shooting "
  • karen
    "It’s country feels with city stores atleast 10 mins away so you’re not doing any crazy driving to get to a grocery store."
  • Raven S.
    "Easy paced travel. Light traffic and the roads arent ragged. Most drivers, drive at a sedate pace. 40 mins or so outside of Cleveland, Oh."
  • Romy P.
    "I just moved here so I don’t know much of what goes on yet. I know Halloween was big and everyone makes their homes look great for the holidays. "
  • MKSiemionko
    "Moved in this summer and I love it. I live in a great allotment with friendly people and a great sense of community. looking forward to getting more involved in the town. Great easy commute and low taxes "
  • Ralphael B. T.
    "The schools are average, but it’s a nice rural-city to raise a family. I can walk my dog at 1 o’clock in the morning and feel fine, and there no litter anywhere."
  • MKSiemionko
    "great neighborhood vibe, walkable town with lots of locally owned shops and very friendly folks. Made an SLC transplant feel right at home and I couldn't be happier. also feels very safe and the online resources can't be best in terms of FB and Nextdoor."
  • Rickllatimer
    "Great strong family community, have lived here since 2000. I was born here but moved away for a few years. I’m glad I purchased a home and stayed in the community. While it’s not a fast paced city, and not very large, it’s peaceful.Neighbors help each other and usually look out for each other. There are plenty of parks and clear sidewalks and hiking paths to enjoy the outdoors safely. Schools are decent compared to Akron and Cleveland. The community is growing and moving forward with progress. Small business are coming into the area to help support the growth. Ravenna is the county seat of Portage County. While there is no perfect city, this place is a decent place to live and raise a family. While there is crime everywhere, it’s all relative to the people. There are definitely more good people than bad in this town. We have raised 6 kids here and 4 have gone onto colleges."
  • Ralishia W.
    "There are parks and trails activities for all ages especially around holidays there is public transportation and low income housing "
  • Jdluvslabs
    "Great neighbors but I want back out in the country. But I love my house. We moved here three years ago. "
  • Jonip1225
    "Dog friendly, lots of dogs being walked on leashes, lots of veterinarians, everyone wants to pet my dog. "
  • Jdluvslabs
    "Easy to and from in my town. Roads are not in the best condition but hope that will change. Our town needs all the help it can get. "
  • Kcipriano55
    "Neighbors looking out for neighbors. Always letting them know if something suspicious is going on. But usually isn’t in our neighborhood "
  • Marlene Newman Gauthier
    "My son and I have lived in the community since 1996.During the turn of the last century, Ravenna was home to the elite, rich and famous! If you were part of this elite bunch, people all over knew 'you' made it if you were so fortunate to live in this wonderful community. Today, Ravenna still offers that 'home' town feel. The neighbors are friendly and the whole town treats one another like old friends and family. Here in Ravenna, Trick or Treat is the ideal location as there are side walks and the community comes together and participates in the fun going all out while the local police patrol the area so everyone is safe. The annual balloon-a-thon is a must for all ages. Ravenna boast a brand new state of the art movie theater for matinees, family nights, date night or just hang out with friends and see the latest release. Or if your in the mood during the spring, summer and early fall, you can visit the old fashioned 'drive in movie theater', one of the last ones remaining in the entire country. While many senior citizens have been born and raised right here in this great community of Ravenna, still the younger generation will find it's very family friendly atmosphere with the local park, good school system, local library, family/ friendly feel and great place to raise your children very. appealing, Itt has all the latest life has to offer while still giving you that 'yester-year feel` from times long past."
  • Jrickon33
    "This subdivision has an annual block party and neighborhood gatherings. Trick or treating on Halloween and other special events."
  • Sunniegilly
    "It’s slummy and run down and I wouldn’t buy a house here. There’s a lot of crime and drugs. Houses aren’t kept up. "
  • Kimberly G.
    "About 10 minutes in any direction are restaurants and groceries stores but about 45 minutes to get to a major city like Cleveland or Akron. Industrial areas are about 10-15 minutes away also. Very close to the turnpike but far enough away that you can't hear it or get affected by traffic. "
  • Kimberly S.
    "I've lived in this area for almost 8 years and there really isn't any crime, people pretty much mind their own business but keep an eye on the neighborhood and the kids that are always playing outside. "
  • Inspgadgt9
    "Time has passed and progress seems to allude Ravenna. Main Street so well travelled yet needs paved properly. "
  • Those4boys1mama
    "I live in a very nice and close knit area. we all watch out for one another and our homes. We enjoy backyard pool parties and bbqs too. "
  • Those4boys1mama
    "It is a small town with history that still shines. It is rebuilding and growing to become a better place to live."
