Own a rare piece of American mid-century architectural history in Akron's desirable Merriman Hills neighborhood, located in the Firestone High School district. Built in 1963, this ultra-rare "Alside Home" is one of only a handful of surviving models in the nation engineered by developer Jerome Kaufman and industrial designer Paul McCobb. Shifting away from standard timber framing, the home was constructed using Alside's revolutionary patented structural steel and aluminum framing matrix, designed to stand the test of time. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and 2,664 square feet of living space, the home features an open-concept kitchen with maple cabinetry and an island overlooking the living room. Because the exterior metal framework supports the home's entire weight, the interior boasts an incredibly fluid layout that maximizes natural light and space. The unique floor plan features a distinct split-foyer entry, leading to an additional family room and a flexible office or dining space that provide endless versatility for everyday living and entertaining. True to classic mid-century design, sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows are featured in every bedroom, opening directly to a private backyard. The home also offers a plumbed wet bar, original closets and built-ins, an attached heated two-car garage, central A/C, and a spacious 0.29-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. A true mid-century dream, this property is an exceptionally rare find in today's market.
