At one acre the largest privately owned property on the Rocky River offers 220 feet of newly sea-walled shoreline across the west channel of the river from the prestigious Cleveland Yachting Club.
The Residence
A beautiful 4600 square foot residence was built at the water's edge with 600 square feet of decking overlooking the river and the year round vistas of the river valley. The living space on all three levels enjoys these views through plentiful windows, especially the first floor living space which was designed with no interior walls to provide full views of this natural setting via a wall of glass doors.
The home offers three bedrooms with three full and two half baths. The spacious master suite overlooks the river and valley via 14 foot cathedral windows. A walk-in bath with a whirlpool tub and curtain-less shower adjacent to a spacious wardrobe completes the suite.
The lower level 1500 square foot recreational room looks out to the river. This space could be converted into a private living space. This exceptionally well built home was designed for low maintenance upkeep.
The Marina, Lease Buildings, and Townhouse Site
The commercial parcels of this offering is city approved for the construction of eight townhouses with up to 2500 square feet of living space all with a private dock along the 220 feet of river frontage. Eight three level townhouses with garden roofs and individual docks would compare with townhouses newly built up-river across from the Emerald Necklace Marina which have recently sold for over $700,000. If the commercial property were kept intact, the leases for the twenty-two docks, two shops (1100 and 800 sq ft) and a rental home on this site would account for $55,000 of yearly revenue.
The Combined Residence and Commercial Property (The Estate)
The combined acre with 220 feet of river frontage, the Metro Park hillside and the 4600 square feet residence would be the largest property on the river and allow for a no-access, gated property and with the removal of the three buildings provide space for a landscaped, gardened estate with room for a pool and tennis court. The property used in this manner would create the most attractive property on the Rocky River.
The entire properties are offered for $1,500,000.
