185 E. Brookside Ave in Firestone Park is a 4 bedroom home w/1453 sqft., not including the 25x12 finished attic (4th bed) and is the type of home that those in the know recognize as an engineer's home. One where every inch is typically well thought out, meticulously placed, and maintenance and updates are done with the highest quality of craftsmanship and most enduring pride of workmanship. Having an eye for detail is a trait not regarded with the type of widespread adoration it deserves. But doing things right, with quality materials and dignity is as important a part of being a homeowner as paying the mortgage is. It strengthens your very core, it adds value to you and it creates equity in the things you hold dear or that hold your wealth potential, it encourages free thinking and breeds longevity. No creaking floors or outlets hanging haphazardly from their receptacles, no small leaks, loose wires, broken handles or other signs of inefficiency or lack of self worth. The home and garage have been refitted with LED fixtures and bulbs, outlets replaced & walls re-finished. The covered front porch has been carefully rebuilt, the back deck partially rebuilt, the basement has been fully waterproofed & the basement steps re-built. The siding and 3 tab, 30 yr roof were new in '07, the Carrier furnace and central air units were new in 2019, and the kitchen has been recently overhauled. Read photo captions for more and ask your Realtor for the complete list of updates.

In a world ruled by hippies, a home is wherever you lay your head, a figment of our imagination that can be cultivated anywhere you may be. Home is where people hug and laugh and cry, home is a feeling not a place, its anywhere you are surrounded by love. But as most of us know now, hippies are drug fueled maniacs, dosed up on quaaludes and acid and trying to transcend reality and avoid a barber or stylist. Here in the real world a home is a giant sometimes multi-level box in which we can lock all our worldly goods and valuables and protect them and ourselves from the likes of hippies, weirdos, peeping toms and mother nature. And most of us these days, reared in an era of fluorescent shoelaces, Pac man, and kraft macaroni and cheese, we like our boxes to be pretty and chock full of conveniences, like running water and espresso machines. 2944 Clearfield Ave is a box and a half in an area of single-family boxes and is a box that boasts running water among its many modern conveniences. Is it indoor electric you crave? Say no more, this ultra-modern adult playground has multiple grounded dual plug wall outlets in every room. Let that sink in. The floors have coverings, most of them wood, but they've sanded it and smoothed it for comfort. There are many small boxes within the larger box, meant for storage of your personal belongings, such as sporks and ukuleles. Don't worry, this box has see-through panels in every room to let you see outside. Come buy a box with a lake nearby.

What is an Unclmorse you ask? An unclmorse is a seaside eden or oceanic oasis. If this definition leaves you scratching your head, one call to Akron's most versed historians should clear up any confusion. In the early to mid 1800s, while the earth was still flat, Castle Homes was an idyllic coastal village with gorgeous tiny castles, nestled in the northern reaches of Ohio's summit. A place to lay down roots for the world's elite, a paradise densley lined with tropical Buckeye trees. In its heyday residents included, James Naismith, Canadian born physical educator and creator of the sport, basketball, and American industrialist, and philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie. Then in 1867, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln cast an ice age over the United States as punishment for the Confederate South, resulting in the earth becoming more rounded due to atmospheric pressure and leaving only a small body of water and those tiny castles as remnants of a gone but not forgotten past. Now, I offer to you, the former castle of renowned Spanish artist, Pablo Picaso.You will find comfort in the new roof constructed in 2014, the furnace in 2013, h2o tank in 2014, electrical panel, and the new concrete drive poured in 2015. Further updates include glass block windows in the basement fresh paint throughout, newer carpet, wood flooring in the kitchen, and refinished hardwoods in the bedrooms. Come see why kings, oscar winners and other human beings are once again making Castle Homes their home.

Marvel at the waterproofing system and EZ Air cleaner installed by Ohio State Waterproofing. Gaze upon the updated Siemens electric panel.
