ROCKY RIVER, Ohio -- If you’re looking for a home on Lake Erie, chances are the views are in the back of the house. But at 37 Kensington Oval, the views are in the front.

“This iconic Tudor-style home has some of the best views of Lake Erie in all of Rocky River,” says Howard Hanna agent Meredith Hardington, who has it priced at $2.85 million.

Boasting four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms in nearly 3,400 sq. ft., the inside is equally special, an appealing mix of period charm and contemporary conveniences.

“The interior has classic features like leaded glass windows and beautiful woodwork in addition to modern updates for today’s lifestyle,” the broker says.

Those classic features include original hardwood floors, beautiful oak fireplace, grand staircase and antique brass doorknobs. The modern updates are headlined by the renovated kitchen with granite countertops, tile backsplash, plentiful cabinets and a large eating area.

“The charming circular traffic pattern into the living room, dining room and den makes the home great for entertaining,” the listing notes.

The bedrooms, full bathrooms and laundry room are located upstairs. The highlight is the spacious primary bedroom with lots of closet space and an en suite bathroom with heated floors. The partially finished basement adds another 1,500 sq. ft. of living space and can be used as a rec room, home gym and/or for storage.

The backyard includes a lovely landscaped brick patio and garden.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of Rocky River’s most beautiful homes in a coveted location,” Hardington writes.
