686 Shook Rd, Akron, OH 44319

Welcome to this charming ranch, tucked into the established Long Lake Beach area of Coventry Township! Situated on a generous 0.56 acre lot, this 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath home offers 1152 sq. ft. of living space, a full basement, and one of the property’s most appealing features – a unique three-room enclosed indoor-to-outdoor living area that truly sets this home apart. Connected directly to one another, and accessed through walk-through patio doors, these three rooms (19,16 & 15 ft. long) offer an unusual amount of flexible space; a place for entertaining, or simply peaceful spots to enjoy the changing seasons. Imagine a cozy sitting area with vented gas fireplace, another with a gas line and auxilliary heat, and a third that the owner used as a canning room with a gas stove, working surfaces and cabinet storage. Multiple patio doors open the rooms to the outdoors, creating a wonderful connection between the home and the spacious yard. Inside, you’ll be able to bring your own style and vision, while still preserving the character of this classic ranch. The 20x11 kitchen provides plenty of room for cooking and gathering, while the one-story floor plan offers the convenience of everything you need on one level. The home has also benefitted from some important improvements in recent years, including an alcove shower and double lavs in the main bath, roof replacement and electrical panel. Then there’s the location. Set in the Long Lake Beach area, eligible homeowners may have the opportunity to enjoy Long Lake access through the Long Lake Beach Homes Association, subject to association membership and current requirements. You're close to shopping and all of the Coventry local schools, too. If you’re looking for a home with a little more land, a classic ranch layout, an outdoor living setup you don't find every day, in a well-established Portage Lakes-area neighborhood, you sure won't want to let this one get away!
