When looking for a home, it's important to find a property with features that are the right fit for you and your family. If you're a fan of the outdoors, you might look for a property with a large backyard and a patio for entertaining. Conversely, history buffs might be on the lookout for charming details and classic architecture. Luckily, our area has a bit of something for everyone when it comes to stunning properties. We've rounded up some of our favorite, jaw-dropping numbers on the market. You'll find everything from stately exteriors, cozy interiors and wide-open spaces, to private libraries, indoor saunas, fire pits and historic details. Happy hunting!

A Private Estate With Picturesque Views

This unique (and gigantic) property is located on two lots in the Estates of Glenmoor. Offering untouched privacy, picturesque views and quality craftsmanship throughout, this home is a marvel any way you look at it. We're particularly enamored with the elaborate backyard patio — perfect for entertaining guests in the summer!

A Beautifully Landscaped Ranch House

This ranch house, located on one of the largest lots in the Woods of Nobles Pond, is cozy and stately at the same time. On one hand, you have the modern kitchen, comfortable living spaces and abundant natural light. On the other, you'll find a pampering master suite, an all brick exterior, and a beautifully landscaped backyard with lots of trees and plenty of privacy for intimate gatherings.

A Man's Home is his Castle

If the castle-like exterior of this Ridgewood property doesn't immediately draw you in, perhaps you'll be taken by the vintage, cozy feel of the indoor living spaces. In fact, the fabulously-designed house was built in 1918 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 — talk about a historic gem! We're in love with the spacious three-car garage and turret-like entryway.

A Southern-Style Home with a Gigantic Backyard

The clean, white exterior of this home on Birchbark Avenue reminds us of a Southern estate — especially with the charming window shutters. Inside, you'll find cozy living spaces that invite you in to stay awhile, including a spa-like master bathroom, a carpeted living room with a stone fireplace, and a spacious den with a bar area. During the warmer months, take advantage of the gigantic backyard with a pool and a patio perfect for grilling.

An Alpine Getaway

This magnificent Alpine-style home in Arbour Green is as gorgeous on the inside as it is on the outside. Boasting a first floor library, a two-story great room, stunning wood craftsmanship throughout, a charming kitchen and nearly two acres of land, the property is comfortable, elegant and unique.

A Stately Home with all the Fixin's

Located in the desirable Farms at Nobles Pond neighborhood, this stately home is in walking distance to multiple country clubs, several schools, a walking trail and the nearby YMCA. But why would you want to leave? With a wide-open kitchen, cozy living room, vintage accents, a large master bath and a game room, this property leaves nothing to be desired.

A B&B-Style Retreat at Any Time of Year

The landscaping of this incredible Akron property is enough to make us swoon — the patio, fire pit and charming gardens make up the perfect outdoor space to spend a sunny afternoon. But when the weather turns sour, the home offers an inviting haven with well-lit living spaces, an enormous walk-in closet, hot tub, full gym and large kitchen complete with plush booth seating.

A Historic Property with Modern Amenities

This impressive brick Tudor-style home in Canton sits in one of the area's oldest neighborhoods, Historic Ridgewood. Enjoy a spacious three-car garage, a second-floor patio with a firepit, a gorgeous, wide-open living room with elegant details, a private sauna, modern appliances, and stunning brickwork and charming lanterns throughout — and that's not even the tip of the iceberg. This property certainly has it all!
