GATES MILLS, Ohio — Situated at the end of a long, private driveway on seven private, park-like acres, Magnolia Manor consists of a grand 1920s main house and a renovated guest house.
“If you love the charm of a true Greek Revival home with grand southern charm and an abundance of colorful historical significance, then you will certainly fall in love with this extraordinary property,” boasts Howard Hanna listing agent Karen Eagle.
The estate sits on what used to be farmland owned in the 1900s by a Dutch immigrant who grew and sold tulip, iris, and daffodil bulbs to wealthy Americans.
“Thousands of beautiful bright yellow daffodils continue to blossom each spring in perfect rows behind the barn house and in scattered areas throughout the property,” says Eagle.
The land was purchased around 1925 by a couple from the South who commissioned architect Francis K. Draz, who would later design the Cleveland Play House and Karamu Theatre, to build their dream home.
Nearly 100 years later, much of the original character and spirit remain intact amid the renovations and updates completed over the years to bring the property up to modern-day standards.
“The current owners have been exceptional stewards of this three parcel home site,” Eagle says.
The main house has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms including primary suite options on the first and second floors. Must-see rooms include the formal dining room, with two incredible antique trumeaus, and the updated and spacious country-style eat-in kitchen, highlighted by stainless steel appliances, beamed ceilings, and a large island.
The outdoor space was made for summers. The pool deck features a heated pool with an automatic cover and a twisty slide, plus a cabana pool house with a full bath, and an outdoor kitchen.
The barn house is separated from the main house by split-rail fencing and can be used as a guest house or rental. The 2,350-sq. ft. home has been extensively renovated and has three bedrooms, two full baths, tall ceilings, soaring windows, and a nice deck.
