Iconic Victorian in Tremont asks $750,000: House of the Week – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- If youve ever been to Taste of Tremont, the Tremont Farmers Market, or frequented the nearby restaurants and bars, youre undoubtedly familiar with the red-brick Victorian on the southeast corner of Lincoln Park.

Built in 1870, the home has been carefully restored and thoughtfully renovated over the years, most recently by the current owner, Stephen Harrison.

This home is one of those treasures that just loves you back, says Harrison, the curator of decorative art and design at the Cleveland Museum of Art.

On the market for the first time since 2009, 1103 Starkweather Ave. has 3-bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms in 2,578-sq. ft. The asking price is $750,000.

The house transports you back in time with its many original decorative elements such as 12-foot ceilings, huge plaster moldings, arched pocket doors in original finish, wooden floors throughout, carved wooden doors, and a curving staircase with original banister, Howard Hannas Chris Davidson writes in his listing.

He says Harrison worked with architect David Ellison and interior decorator Thomas Lee Randleman on an extensive redesign. Changes include converting a small bedroom upstairs into a gracious bath and laundry room to complete the master suite, which now also boasts a cedar closet. They also enlarged the side porch to be a more versatile space for dining and relaxing. Built-in bookshelves were added to the library.

The result was an outstanding residential preservation award from the Cleveland Restoration Society in 2014.

Practical improvements have brought the home to todays standards, too. They include a new roof and high-capacity hot-water heater in 2018, HVAC systems in 2005 (upstairs) and 2010 (downstairs), and updated electrical throughout in 2000.

This is Tremonts most iconic and recognizable home, Davidson says.
