The first thing you may notice as you approach this home is its stone front porch. Built in 1925 and purchased by the current owner in 2010, the home also boasts its original mosaic tile in the entryway.

When you enter the home, you will find yourself in the living room. The room is characterized by Spanish colonial furniture which was collected by the owner both here and abroad. The entertainment center in the living room was made from antique Mexican doorways. The coffee table is also a Mexican antique. The fainting couch is from June Greenwald antiques. Standing next to the brick fireplace which has been stripped of black paint (by former owner and former honorary tour chairman Michael Ruhlman) is a bust of prominent CWRU dental school dentist Dr. George Henry Wilson. Notice the original shelving around the fireplace and leaded glass windows which make Cleveland Heights homes so unique!

Many treasures reside in this room, including an antique candlestick, a small portion of the owner's cross collection on the entertainment center, stained glass art created by the owner and lamps on the mantel which belonged to the owner's mother. As you pass through the living room to the dining room you will notice the columns with candelabra, and a window seat. This house just feels good! An original chandelier which was converted to electricity hangs above the dining room table. The hutch on the right displays the owner's Dansk sterling silver menagerie and Heisey green glass collections. Hanging next to the hutch is an antique Belgian tapestry. To the right of the back door is a 1950 era hutch. The owner's original stained glass piece hangs to the left of back door.

As you pass the back door, peek outside at the lovely, tranquil deck.

Turn right into the kitchen. Immediately to the right is a secretary circa 1950 from the owner's mother. The table and chairs are from June Greenwald antiques. A collection of antique kitchen appliances sits next to the microwave (wink). On the window sill are chickens and a ceramic box from France, goblets from Little Italy, and antique tea cups. Below the window is a Spanish colonial corner chair. Above the cabinets is an antique silver collection.

Go up the stairs. In the stairwell, you will find a cross from Cuba. All of the carpeting on the stairs has been replaced by the owner. A collection of ancestors' photographs graces the stairwell dating back to the 1800s. At the top of stairs is a collection of Greek Christian plaques. At the very top of the display is a cross from Pisa, Italy.

Turn right into the yoga and Reiki (healing energy therapy) studio which contains several stained glass pieces made by the owner. Turn left into the office which holds imported desks and an antique telephone table. On the far wall are copies of illuminata from Florence (Christian manuscripts). A poster of Medieval Venice hangs above the first desk.

Next is the bathroom which features the owner's extensive cross collection. The crosses were acquired from many travels including: Cuba, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Papua New Guinea and France.

Down the hall to the right is the master bedroom. This room is like a sanctuary with its warm, inviting furniture. Do resist the urge to lose yourself on the gorgeous bed and gaze out the bay window. The tapestries and marionette are from Burma. The mask on door is from Venice and more masks are displayed from the owner's travels.

Cross the hall and enter the guest bedroom. The owner made the tapestry above the bed. The small tiles in the window are from architect Paolo Soleri's studio in Arizona. There is an antique silver chest on floor. The cedar chest displays more souvenir treasures from travels. As you exit the room, notice an original light fixture to the left of the door.
