Primarily built for prestigious families following the turn of the century, most of the magnificent homes of north Edgewater were built from 1900-1939, offering many charming century homes.
Homes mainly range from 2,600-6,400 square feet with 4-5 bedrooms and 2.5-5 bathrooms.
These carefully preserved and updated homes offer a mix of old-world charm and modern functionality. Common features include vestibules, foyers with high ceilings and staircases, spacious rooms, numerous wood-burning fireplaces, leaded glass windows, abundant natural wood trim, butler’s pantry, hardwood floors, intricate moldings, built-ins, 3-season/sunrooms, and flagstone or paver patios.

*NOTE: Lakefront properties along Cliff Dr do not extend to the shoreline, nor offer direct access to the beach/lake.

History of North Edgewater
The Edgewater neighborhood was originally part of Brooklyn Township (formed in 1818) in the Connecticut Western Reserve. It included territory west of the Cuyahoga River that later became the west side of Cleveland.
In 1871, the area was incorporated as the Village of West Cleveland.
The north end of West Cleveland, comprising today’s north Edgewater neighborhood, remained virtually undisturbed through the early-1880s. Wealthy landowners including S.B. Marshall, Henry Lower, Norman C. Baldwin, and Jacob Bishop Perkins utilized their land for fruit orchards and summer estates.
Around 1888, Jacob B. Perkins recruited Marcus Alonzo Hanna (most famously known as President William McKinley’s campaign manager) and his brother Leonard C. Hanna to join him along Lake Ave.
Within a few years, a half-dozen other prominent citizens and industrialists like Joseph M. Gasser, Julius Feiss, and William John White acquired idyllic 5-10 acre parcels along the waterfront of Lake Ave and erected their own magnificent Gilded Age mansions.
The same year the Village was annexed to Cleveland (1894), the city purchased the property immediately east of Jacob B. Perkins’ estate for public recreation. Edgewater Park would open the following year.
Residential development slowly began to encroach Lake Ave with the addition of Clifton Boulevard and numbered perpendicular streets in 1903.
Extensive improvements to Edgewater Park in 1914 included an immense 3-story Spanish Mission-style bathhouse that accommodated 3,000 bathers, attracting visitors in droves.
With a growing interest in their lakefront, parkside property, Gilded Age landowners began to subsidize their lakefront estates.
By 1915, much of the land north of Lake Ave was re-plotted as the north Edgewater neighborhood we know today, adding the streets of Edgewater Dr, Cliff Dr and Harborview Dr. The first generation of grand Lake Ave residences were eventually demolished and replaced by more modest but still markedly grand homes.
