869 Cambridge Rd, Cleveland Heights, OH 44121

If you love homes with character—the kind of details you simply cannot recreate in a new build—869 Cambridge is something special. This all-brick Colonial is filled with wonderfully preserved mid-century charm, unexpected spaces and original features that give the home a personality all its own. Graceful arches appear throughout—from doorways to built-in shelving—while a classic swinging butler door connects the dining room and kitchen. Original hardwood flooring runs throughout much of the home, complemented by original tile floors and charming reminders of thoughtful design, including a laundry chute and even the original wall-mounted pencil sharpener. The light-filled main level offers comfortable living and dining spaces plus a four-season rear sunroom overlooking the backyard. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary with two closets, and a full bath with tub/shower and charming yellow ribbon tile. A walk-up third floor provides substantial additional storage and future possibilities. The full basement adds a partially finished recreation area with the home’s second fireplace, laundry and utility space, a workshop with extensive built-in shelving and work surfaces, and original canning/storage rooms. Then step outside to one of the property’s best surprises: a finished Amish-built backyard outbuilding with a warm wood vaulted interior, windows, 100-amp electrical service, dedicated workspace and loft—an inspiring home office, writer’s retreat, art or craft studio, workshop or private escape. Even the original milk/package pass-through remains accessible from outside—perfectly repurposed for today’s Amazon deliveries. Central air, a detached two-car garage and a one-year home warranty add comfort and peace of mind. Convenient to Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, University Circle, Downtown Cleveland and the eastern corridor, 869 Cambridge offers a rare combination of character, flexibility and location.
