Historic Treasure! This French Normandy masterpiece was designed by the renowned architect, Charles Sumner Schneider, who also designed the famous Stan Hywet mansion. The home was originally built in 1930 for Myron E. Fitzwater, a prominent Brecksville resident. No expense was spared in the quality of the construction and architectural detail. Every original feature of this exquisite one of a kind home has been lovingly preserved. The grand living room features a carved soapstone fireplace with an intricate floor to ceiling mantle piece hand carved in a linenfold relief pattern. Twelve foot high coved ceilings are accented with plaster cast moldings with roping detail. Intricate carved mahogany and cypress woodwork are used throughout the home. Oak and cherry hardwood floors are found in most rooms. Beautiful brick floors and walkways enhance the porches and other exterior areas. Extensive built-ins, leaded glass & original fixtures are found throughout. The wiring & plumbing has been updated. It's like your own private oasis tucked away on a parklike double lot shaded with tall century white oak trees.  Idyllic in every respect, this charming home could be the subject of a Thomas Kinkade painting!
