A truly special home in a beautiful setting! Welcome to 645 Mentor Ave., a distinctive 4-bedroom, 2½-bath split-level tucked away on a quiet dead-end street and nestled on a wooded half-acre lot in the highly sought after Merriman Hills. Lovingly maintained by the same owner for 58 years, this 2,276 sq. ft. home offers timeless style, solid construction, and a layout that is anything but ordinary. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the inviting foyer, spacious living room with large windows, dining room with original hardwood floors, and kitchen featuring maple cabinetry, Corian countertops, and ceramic tile flooring. Up just six steps are three bedrooms and a full bath, along with the showstopping private primary suite addition. Featuring cathedral ceilings, a large walk-in closet, full bath, and spectacular views of the wooded backyard, this is a truly magical retreat. The lower level offers even more living space with a cozy family room featuring a beautiful stone electric fireplace, half bath, and two flexible bonus rooms perfect for an office, exercise room, playroom, hobby space, or whatever fits your needs. The basement adds laundry, abundant storage, and a fantastic workshop with built-in shelving and workspace. Outside, enjoy the peaceful wooded setting from the freshly painted patio, plus a detached 2-car garage. This is one of those homes you truly need to see in person to appreciate the space, character, privacy, and possibilities. Ideally located near Metro Parks trails, shopping, dining, and all that West Akron has to offer.
