STRIKING MID-CENTURY MODERN
At the close of World War II, a generation of forward-thinking architects abandoned old ideas about home design in favor of open spaces, simplicity, and integration with nature. The mid-century modern movement was born! Built in 1955, this Amberley home captures the best of the movement with its large windows, changes in elevation, and harmony between indoor and outdoor living areas. Iconic MCM details include oversized windows and glass doors that invite natural light from multiple angles, and short flights of steps between rooms that add depth to living spaces. Thoughtful renovations in 2006 updated amenities while leaving the framework intact, to create a home that retains the innovation and energy of MCM while offering the comforts and conveniences that 21st century homeowners expect. This striking home sits on a cleared, 1.7 acre parcel, offering serene views, comfortable outdoor living, and amazing privacy. Excellent location in Amberley Village, which is ranked among the Best Suburbs to Live in Cincinnati with high marks for its natural beauty, family-friendly environment, and strong sense of community. |
About Amberley Village
Amberley Village is known for its winding streets, towering trees, and elegant homes. A country-like atmosphere has been carefully preserved by an attentive village council that is committed to maintaining the rural character of the community. Amid quiet streets lined by picturesque houses that sit on spacious grounds with wide velvety lawns, it’s easy to forget that Amberley Village is located at the center of the I-275 circle, with easy access to all major highways and all of metropolitan Cincinnati.
The community is home to some of the region’s most beautiful parks, including Amberley Green, a former golf course covering 133-acres and offering walking and running trails that wind through rolling hills, ponds and trees. On the grounds of Village Hall, Amberley Park features playground equipment, paved walking tracks, and tennis courts. French Park, in the heart of Amberley Village, is the former 275-acre estate of Herbert Greer French. The hill at the top of the park offers spectacular views, a shelter house with bathrooms, and picnic areas with grills. Each year, the village hosts an ice cream social for residents. Year-round family-friendly events and activities are available at the Mayerson Jewish Community Center, located in the village. Here, residents/members enjoy indoor and outdoor swimming pools, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, seniors programs, spa services, and summer camps for youth, as well as cultural programs and performances.
Shopping, dining and entertainment are easily accessible. Dillonvale Shopping Center in the village is an easy stop for groceries and other day-to-day necessities, and nearby Pleasant Ridge offers one-of-a-kind, locally-owned shops, boutiques, services, restaurants and pubs. Kenwood Towne Centre and Sycamore Plaza are about 10 minutes away, and Tri-County Mall is a 15-minute drive.
