I met the sweetest couple at my friend Melanie’s BNB, Shady Oaks Farm, last August. They were traveling through NE Ohio trying to decide where they may like to settle as they planned to leave Florida and come live up north again to enjoy the seasons and be closer to family. Their “must haves” 1. Architectural character. 2. Single floor or main floor master. 3 To be within a vibrant community. 4. The icing on the cake would be to live within nature and to have a woodland setting. We began a remote search with them attending via Zoom for each of the home tours. We found this mid century beauty tucked right into the Sand Run Metropark in Akron. Close to everything with a wooded ravine for a backyard and all the built ins, millwork and solid craftsmanship of a quality mid century ranch home. They loved the 1960’s Grandma Chic vibe. We hit the target head on. We officially closed on their purchase just in time for a new home for Christmas. Sold for $345,000
