About this House

Luxury meets modern living in this completely reimagined Parma home. Thoughtfully redesigned from top to bottom, this exceptional residence blends high-end finishes, quality craftsmanship, and modern functionality in one of Parma's established neighborhoods. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, dining, schools, and major highways, this home offers the feel of new construction in an established community.

Originally a 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, it has been transformed into a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath residence with an open-concept layout designed for today's lifestyle. The flexible floor plan also offers the potential for a 5th bedroom by converting the main-floor TV room into a private primary suite, making it ideal for multigenerational living or first-floor living.

The chef-inspired kitchen features brand-new cabinetry, an oversized island, a complete Samsung Bespoke appliance package, and modern finishes throughout. Recessed lighting, high-end luxury vinyl plank flooring, and three fireplaces with custom accent walls create a warm, elegant atmosphere.

The main-level full bath is brand new, while the upstairs bath has been completely remodeled. Additional updates include new carpet, ceiling fans, doors, and hardware throughout.

Enjoy peace of mind with a new furnace, central air, hot water tank, updated electrical and gas lines, new windows, new garage door and opener, and a mostly finished basement with an epoxy-coated mechanical room. This move-in-ready home is a rare opportunity offering designer finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and exceptional value.

Home warranty available! Seller is willing to include a one-year home warranty with an acceptable offer.
