In a prime Cleveland Heights location just 2 blocks from Lake Merritt, 444 Newton Ave delights with Craftsman details, sun-filled rooms, great indoor-outdoor flow, and a truly special backyard. A welcoming enclosed sun porch is a perfect spot for slipping off shoes and backpacks as you enter. Inside, hardwood floors gleam, and a light-filled living room charms with built-in bookshelves and a working fireplace with classic tile. The dining room features a built-in china cabinet, and windows drench the room in natural light. From the large, thoughtfully updated eat-in kitchen, French doors lead to the deck and expansive yard where you'll find a lawn area, planter boxes brimming with herbs and veggies, fruit trees, succulents, meandering pathways, a loveseat swing nestled among fragrant lavender, and a shed perfect for potting, painting, or a playhouse*. Back inside, two generous bedrooms enjoy views of the yard, and a charming updated bath with vintage vibes completes the main level. Downstairs, a 3rd bedroom, laundry, and a flex space with a separate entrance await. A 2-car garage and central AC bring ease to everyday life, and close proximity to the lake, shops, and restaurants invites you to explore all this wonderful neighborhood has to offer.
