Spa-like retreat in Richfield can be yours for $5 million: House of the Week

RICHFIELD, Ohio — Perhaps you’ve driven past the electric gate and illuminated bridge at 3516 W. Streetsboro Rd., a stone’s throw from the former site of the Richfield Coliseum, and wondered what’s on the other side.The answer is a house that listing agent David Ayers describes as “completely unexpected” and a “modern masterpiece.”

Built in 2015, the home is the creation of its current owners, a designer and an architect.

“The design is evocative of the most incredible five-star spa retreat you could imagine,” says Ayers, President, Young Luxury, a Division of The Young Team, Keller Williams Greater Metropolitan.

The home rests on 8.5 acres of park-like land. The manicured grounds immediately surrounding it were designed by landscape architect David Thorn.

“His ability to shape and bend the natural world to harmonize with the glass, steel and stone angular lines of the architecture, create a sense of restrained and controlled serenity and balance,” Ayers says.

That desire to promote tranquility extends to the interior, too. Glass walls and folding nano doors bring the outside in, while the ebony wood panels give the open-concept floor plan a sleek, yet natural look. Highlights include a Valcucine designer kitchen, 180-bottle, temperature-controlled glass and marble wine display room, plus gas fireplaces in both the living and family rooms.

“Fire and water face off and play together from multiple areas on the property,” Ayers says. “For example, the subtle movement of water on the ceilings and walls from the reflecting pools temper the dramatic flames from the two linear, marble fireplaces in the open living area.”

The 5,111-sq. ft. home boasts 3 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. The primary suite comes with an en-suite dressing room and spa bathroom with a soaking tub and steam shower.

The finished basement adds nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of living space and includes an open entertainment space with a kitchenette with room for 600 more bottles of wine. There’s also a conference room, golf simulator and home gym with a separate treatment room.

Outside, the covered patio has an outdoor kitchen, two fire pits and a stainless steel whirlpool jacuzzi. The sidewalks and driveway are heated to melt the snow. The attached garage can accommodate four vehicles. A 2,016-sq. ft. outbuilding can be used as an auto showroom, art studio or workshop.

“The home exceeds even the highest expectations in every way,” Ayers said.

On the market since mid-August, 3516 W. Streetsboro Rd. is available for $4,995,000.
