About this property
Stunning Lakefront Six-bedroom Century home
"Sweet Lorraine" is ideal for a family vacation and peaceful get away with exhilarating views. Its large lakefront property with fishing pier has plenty of space to play and entertain. It has 10 beds in super comfy, spacious rooms (3 King, 2 Queen, four twin, one double), 3 1/2 baths with an extra separate shower, family kitchen and ample furniture.
It is only 5 minutes from Lakeview beach and park to the west and 3 blocks from Century Park beach to the east. There is a walking trail with exercise equipment across from Century Park. It is very close to city restaurants, Spitzer marina and 35 minutes from both Cedar Point and downtown Cleveland.
The space:
• 5,000sf home is all yours. Built in 1908, this gorgeous Edwardian Craftsman has been lovingly cared for and updated to withstand 21st century living, while maintaining its original 20th century charm.
• Walk into the grand foyer and be instantly transported back to Lorain Ohio’s golden age. Off of the foyer you will find a warm living/dining room to your right, a study/living room to your left (old formal dining room) and a 21st century family kitchen, breakfast room and powder room straight ahead.
• Behind the living/dining room you will find a 3-season room with amazing lake views (this will be your favorite spot in the house).
• The second floor has 1 King bedroom with Pella French Doors leading to your private waterfront balcony, a dressing room with fireplace and connected to a room with a Double Sofa Bed/study, 2 more King Bedrooms, 1 Queen Bedroom, 1 full bathroom, and a separate shower in a laundry room.
• The third floor has one Bedroom with 1 Queen and 2 Twins, one Bedroom with 2 Twins, a playroom with one twin bed, toys and books, floor chair and a full bath.
• Lastly, you will find a full-size walk-out basement with another full bath, extra fridge, ping pong table and play-room—perfect for the kiddos to make as much noise as they want.
• The best thing about this property is the 1/2 acre back yard with plenty of space to play and gather with the sense of total freedom and peace with the expansive view of the lake and sky as far as you can see.
"Sweet Lorraine" is perfect for family reunions, Holidays, and just a warm and quiet place to get away from it all.
Security:
We have a ring camera next to the front door and in the back.

About the host
Hosted by Lorrie Ruth Reid
My husband’s father was born and raised in Lorain, Ohio where his mother and father from Hungary settled and managed 8 children. Tim’s Father eventually moved his young family to Westlake, Ohio around 1953. Tim and I lived there with two children from 1989 till his career took us away, but we always prayed to come back to family and Beautiful Lake Erie. Finally, after 23 years away, we’ve bought a “family vacation home” back on the lake of our roots. My grandfather who immigrated from Norway in 1910, a seaman turned dairyman, was an expert fisherman on the shores of Lake Erie by 1916 and married and lived in Cleveland till his death in 1967. His daughter, my mother, retired to the shores of Lake Erie on the west side of Cleveland till her death in 2021 at the age of 99. It is with great gratitude that we wish to share this home for family reunions with others while we are still away, living in Texas, to be near our grandchildren.
Why they chose this property
It has a very large back yard in a quiet, peaceful lakefront neighborhood with a wide open view of the lake. It is very close to Lakeview Beach and park, many restaurants, marinas and the Rockin on the River concerts. It is halfway between Cedar point, Kalahari water resort, and ferries to the islands to the west and Cleveland city attractions to the east.
What makes this property unique
Our property has excellent beds and large bedrooms with all the comforts of home, and plenty of gathering spaces for family reunions with beautiful lake views from almost every room. The well equipped kitchen is the heart of the home as a very spacious, comfortable gathering space.
