luxury houses with terrace for sale Chagrin Falls, United States

Set on one of Barrington Estates’ most coveted cul-de-sac settings, this immaculate contemporary estate is a masterwork of architecture and resort-style living. Designed by architect Jorge Castillo and built by Larry Bloch, the residence occupies one of only four properties in the community with golf course frontage on three sides for an unmatched sense of privacy. Encompassing 9,629 square feet, the home is defined by soaring ceilings, large windows, and an open, light-filled floorplan that seamlessly blends sophistication with everyday comfort. Marble flooring spans much of the main level, while custom built-ins accented with granite and marble add refinement throughout. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with new high-end appliances installed in 2023 and opens effortlessly into the home’s gathering spaces. The first-floor primary wing offers a secluded retreat with a private office, oversized closet, spa-inspired bath, and spacious bedroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms each feature en-suite baths and walk-in closets, while a fifth bedroom in the walkout lower level creates an ideal guest suite with direct access to the outdoor entertaining areas. Designed for hosting at every scale, the walkout lower level rivals a private club, featuring a full bar, game room, and wine cellar. The home fitness center is complete with Vectra multi-station equipment and padded wood aerobic flooring. Outside, the estate unfolds into a true resort environment. Expansive stone patios with multiple seating areas surround the pool and whirlpool spa, complemented by a marble bar, Coyote grill, and firepit. Lush landscaping and panoramic golf course views provide an unmatched scenery in serenity. With a new roof installed in 2022, pool replastering in 2024, and an extraordinary combination of architectural pedigree, meticulous upkeep, and premier positioning within Barrington Estates, this is a rare offering where contemporary luxury and timeless livability exist in perfect balance.

There are homes that impress, and those that redefine what it means to inhabit architecture. Playmore belongs to the latter. Perched at the second highest point in Lake County with sweeping views to Lake Erie, this is more than a residence, it is a rare architectural statement. Originally built in 1929 to serve as the primary home of Cleveland architect Benjamin Hubbell, the home has been thoughtfully expanded and reimagined, blending historic character with modern livability. A winding half-mile private drive leads through curated grounds before revealing the stone façade and gabled rooflines. Inside, a three-story reception hall anchors the home, connecting spaces with sculptural clarity. Throughout, craftsmanship rises to the level of art—hand-carved woodwork, ceiling frescos, and imported marble define interiors of exceptional distinction. A grand salon transitions to a richly paneled, museum-quality library. The kitchen, crowned by a bespoke Tiffany skylight, balances function with architectural beauty. A 3,000-square-foot entertainment wing offers a private, club-like experience with its own entrance. A billiards area flows into a cocktail lounge, where a custom Harley-Davidson—displayed in glass and light—serves as a striking focal point. Doors open to expansive stone terraces, bocce courts, a koi pond, and a resort-style pool, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Under the guidance of a world-renowned landscape architect, over 20,000 trees were planted to perfect the bucolic English gardens surrounding the home, and the property is surrounded by the Holden Arboretum on 3 sides, ensuring serenity for years to come. The surrounding acreage is beautifully wooded with winding trails that cut through the forest, leading to a campground and firepit nestled on the hillside. At once residence, gallery, and retreat, Playmore is a singular estate—designed not just to be lived in, but experienced. Estate can be offered furnished with art, price upon request.
