About this property
The Lake House - private house on Lake Erie - 10 min from downtown
***Please be sure to read full description and house rules prior to booking.***
DIRECTLY on Lake Erie's shoreline, cantilevered just 20' above the water. Completely private waterfront escape. Experience the sound of the waves and unbelievable sunsets for a truly relaxing getaway.
The meticulously designed interior blends the timeless charm of mid-century modern architecture with high-end luxuries. Kick back & relax while savoring the view or whip up a meal in the gorgeous kitchen.
Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a unique spot for a photoshoot, The Lake House is the place to be.
Originally designed in 1956 by world renowned architect J. Byers Hays (Cleveland Museum of Art, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, Cleveland Municipal Stadium) this post and beam MCM marvel was restored and reimagined by artist and designer Conor O’Malley of CONOR Design/Build in 2023.
The interior boasts incredibly unique features that Hays, who is credited with bringing modern architecture to northeast Ohio, thought were the most special and ambitious of his residential designs.
Experience luxury and breathtaking views in this 950-sq ft home.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open floor plan kitchen and living space with natural light, showcasing 20-ft ceilings and unbeatable views of Lake Erie. The Lake House boasts mesmerizing views & dreamy sunsets.
Relax in the "conversation pit" seating, or step onto the cantilevered wraparound deck. Enjoy privacy in this impeccably designed space, featuring all new interiors.
The cozy primary suite boasts high-end finishes and an en suite bathroom as well as a TV.
The loft has two full beds. It is a true loft peak ceiling, located above the primary suite. Adults can stand up in the center. Loft space not included in the 950 sq ft measurement. Ladder access up to the loft.
Additional half bath off of the living space.
The Lake House is a 10-minute drive to Ohio City, Gordon Square's Arts District and Edgewater Park. It is 15 minutes from downtown (and Browns/Cavs/Guardians' stadiums), The Flats, Irishtown Bend, Tremont, and Playhouse Square's theater district. It's 20 minutes from CWRU, Cleveland Clinic Main Campus, UH, Severance Hall, and Little Italy on the east side. And it's 30 minutes from Cuyahoga National Valley Park, with other incredible Cleveland Metroparks much closer.
For access, there are 60-some steps down the hill. It's a small price to pay for a slice of paradise! Think of it as a built-in fitness routine. And just imagine the view waiting for you! There is also a ladder to access the 2nd bedroom.
Entire home access to The Lake House and deck. Tucked away down the hill with great privacy. This is the only structure that sits down at the water in this area, so you have unobstructed views.
