5007 Cleveland Rd E Huron, OH 44839

An extraordinary piece of American history on the Lake Erie shoreline. Dating to 1820, this remarkable home is one of the oldest standing structures along this stretch of the Lake Erie coast. Located in the historic Firelands/Vermilion corridor, it offers approximately 195' of zero-entry, rock-free sandy beach - the holy grail of Lake Erie beach real estate. More than 45 years of established gabion shoreline protection complements a sandy beach the owners report has continued to grow through natural accretion. A neighboring approximately 32-acre privately owned parcel of woods and open land creates a natural buffer and exceptional sense of privacy. This neighboring acreage is not included in the sale. Eagles, herons, deer and other wildlife frequent the area. Historic post-and-beam construction features high ceilings, detailed medallion work, solid wood doors and hand-finished carpentry. A dry sandstone basement is another remarkable feature of this 206-year-old lakefront home. Offering 4 bedrooms with potential for a 5th, 4 baths and 2 kitchens, the home provides tremendous flexibility. The primary suite features a jetted tub and tiled multi-head shower. A main-floor guest suite offers an oversized multi-head tiled shower, double vanity and infrared sauna. A separate in-law/rental suite includes its own kitchen, soaking tub and private entrances. The west wing is plumbed for a possible efficiency suite. The third-floor attic offers potential for a future Captain's Quarters with architectural plans completed. Multiple decks showcase spectacular Lake Erie sunsets. The home appears on the historic 1835 Lee-Talcott survey associated with the Ohio-Michigan boundary dispute, with the original hand-drawn survey map preserved at the home. Kayak or jet ski from your own beach and experience an extraordinary combination of history, privacy, sandy shoreline and Lake Erie legacy.
