Steeped in history, this absolutely extraordinary Georgian Manor was the personal home of Newton D. Baker. Commissioned by him, designed by Meade & Hamilton, and built on a double lot overlooking the Shaker Heights Country Club, this home is an architectural treasure. A grand entry hall with Gracie handpainted wallpaper welcomes one into the extraordinary interior and leads to the breathtaking step down living room which features three sets of french doors which open onto the expansive rear terrace. This one-of-a-kind room has a built-in bar, features two crystal chandeliers, multiple seating areas, a handsome fireplace, and exquisite plaster detailing. The grand formal dining room is perfect for elegant affairs and has another exquisite crystal chandelier. Across from the dining room is the formal library with fireplace. A three room kitchen area includes a butler's pantry, wonderful white kitchen, and lovely breakfast room. And the true showstopper is the family room/library where Newton D. Baker had his desk and worked. This incredible room has walls of bookshelves, an exposed beamed ceiling, and another handsome fireplace.
