982 Chestnut Run, Gates Mills, OH 44040

Beautiful landscaping welcomes you to this five acre, Gates Mills residence with a hint of country French architecture and a bold statement of quality. A welcoming two story foyer with a transverse staircase sets the tone of refined design.  Beyond the foyer, the greatroom enjoys an expansive fireplace, opposite a wall of arched windows overlooking the rear yard.  The greatroom flows seamlessly into the casual eating area attached to the custom designed knotty pine kitchen.  A stone sink and large island accent the kitchen.  At the front of the home, the dining room has upscale finishes and extensive storage for tableware.  Across the foyer, the commanding, private office includes custom paneling, built-ins and drapes, all designed by Wendy Berry of W Designs.  Tucked into a back corner of the first floor, a room bathed in natural light and affectionately called the "sunroom", was redesigned to take full advantage of the views.  The star of the second floor is the owners' suite which incorporates a large, gracious bedroom, ante room entry way, dressing room with two attached walk-in closets and a recently remodeled spa-like bath.  The other three bedroom were updated with LVT and all have terrific closet space and charming details.  Another full bath on the second floor was re-done with a sophisticated look and high function, including two sinks and tub/shower.The expansive lower level rec room has room for a large seating area, game table and pool table.  The wonderful bar and walk-out feature makes the lower level feel integrated into the entire home.  An exercise room with mirrors and plenty of storage is ideal for working out.  A full bath in the lower level is perfect for folks using the pool or enjoying the rec room.  The lush, verdant gardens were masterfully designed and executed by a true landscape artist.  Something wonderful is always in bloom making the pool and patio feel like a fine resort.Private and refined....Make this your new home.
