ARCHITECTURE AS ART! Welcome to 1951 E 75th or better known as The Charles Schweinfurth Residence. This historically significant castle-like home was built in 1894 and was designed by owner-architect C. Schweinfurth. And, as it turned out, the home is recognized as A Masterpiece of Romanesque Revival style architecture. The Exterior Design is strong and formidable...a fortress-like appearance with gorgeous architectural details that include stone accent faces, a perched griffin that stands guard, beautiful entry and post period lighting, but probably most notable is the super thick Tudor-Arch oak front door that features a pair of winged lions, birds, and the Schweinfurth coat of arms carvings all that were executed by the Schweinfurth himself. Heavy wrought iron and an S-shaped door handle are also attached. The interior is equally as impressive, a true kaleidoscope of colors, textures and rich finishes throughout. From the moment one enters the mosaic accented foyer, it is quite evident all that enter are in for a visual & inspiring architectural experience. The home features: stained glass windows, dozens of custom designed-unique lightings, beautiful wallpaper, mosaic accents, rich millwork, hand carved wood figures & creatures, as well as heavy-fully functioning pocket doors. The home is an absolute visual experience and a one-of-a-kind architectural treat! The home features a fully updated-sleek modern kitchen, 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, front & back stairways, a loft office, a second kitchen on the second level and an attached green house with private balcony. Out back, there is a tranquil, meditating garden as the entire property features a 6' tall privacy fence...a real fortress and private oasis in the city. The location is fantastic with so much to do close by-as it is conveniently close to downtown and University Circle. Don't miss this very special opportunity to own a significant piece of Cleveland's architectural history.
