Grand on Grandin

Nestled like a gem within a jewel box, Grandin Road is one of the most sought-after addresses in the covetable community of Hyde Park. Beautiful estate homes punctuate the road’s gentle curves; some appear grander from their hilltop perch. Among these is 2295 Grandin Road, an iconic home with timeless architectural design. Old World European influence is discernible in the mansard roofline highlighted by a copper roof, downspouts, and a pea gravel driveway. A professionally executed landscape design enhances privacy and curb appeal.

With more than 8,000 square feet of indoor living spaces, rooms are expansive and stately. Enhancing these generous proportions are millwork, custom hardwood floors, three fireplaces, soaring ceilings, pocket doors, and wood paneling. The unique configuration makes the home ideally suited for large social gatherings or a small group of friends and family.

The showstopper in the light-filled dining room is the hand-painted wall covering from the venerable French firm Zuber. Detailed wainscoting runs the room’s perimeter, while overhead is stepped crown molding and a stunning chandelier.

An exquisitely carved marble mantel surrounds the fireplace in the living room. Glass doors lead to a side patio. Nearby, an expansive family room presents custom cabinets and a fireplace mantel crafted from mahogany. A pub-style bar at the end of the room features a custom granite countertop and Sub-Zero icemaker.

The chef’s kitchen has everything a gourmand could desire, including hand-signed Spanish tiles, top-grade appliances, and finely crafted bespoke cabinets. The large center island makes meal prep easy, and it’s just steps to the light-filled breakfast room.

Walnut paneling, an intricate fireplace mantle, and built-ins define a private office. Attention to detail extends to the ceiling, where you’ll find gold-leaf accents. Doors to a side patio make it easy to step outside and enjoy the outdoors.

The primary bedroom suite is both luxurious and serene with a sitting area, builtins, a walk-in closet, and a large ensuite bath. In total, this home has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.

A wine cellar, rec area, and workout room are located on the lower level. Gardeners will appreciate the greenhouse/solarium for plant cultivation; it would also make a unique yoga studio or personal retreat.

There are a plethora of terraces and porches to enjoy the home’s exceptional and well-maintained outdoor spaces, including a pool and gardens accentuated by accent lighting. Crafted from imported stone, a series of stone terraces blend seamlessly into the landscape. Brick walls flank a stunning, museum-quality, wrought-iron gate at the end of the garden. Equally enchanting is a fountain surrounded by stone and shrubbery. The private resort-style pool features a spa.

Although it feels like an oasis in the country, the home, located across the street from the Cincinnati Country Club and mere minutes from landmark Hyde Park Square, offers the best of both worlds in terms of privacy and convenience.
