Silver Lake
For the website of the Village office, click here. For the history of Silver Lake, click here. For the website of Silver Lake Estates, the trust which owns and maintains the lake itself for the homeowners, click here (lots of photos). For Silver Lake's Wikipedia entry, click here.
The house is located near, but not on, the lake on a low-traffic street with sidewalks throughout this part of Silver Lake. It is telling that so many families have lived in this community for decades, not because they couldn't live elsewhere, but because the lifestyle is tremendous. Quiet, friendly, lushly treed, every house individually architected and well-maintained. The neighborhood is a quiet enclave near all the conveniences of suburbs and city.
Walking to the boathouse and park at the southwest corner of the lake is a delight, a bit less than a mile. Would you like a camping adventure at the most exclusive campground in Ohio? On a small treed island in the middle of Silver Lake, you can arrange to camp at the single campsite. You are likely to see a blue heron or two and perhaps a cormorant if you're lucky. The fishing is good in this private lake. Unpowered row boats, paddle boats, small sailboats, and canoes are available at no cost. Picnic areas called pods each with a grill are available, including for groups of up to 25. A lifeguarded, sandy swimming area with diving board and slide will cool you off. All this and more are only available to homeowners with Estates rights in their deed of which this house is one. The neighbors are SUPER. Community events and the annual street picnic are great fun.
If property values have you afraid to buy now, Silver Lake is a good place to buy. National RE prices may have gone down 20%, 25% or more, but not Silver Lake; down only 8% for the whole Village, and houses near the lake, less than that.
AND this house is one of the more affordable near the lake. Our NEGOTIABLE asking price is $184,900. Million dollar lakefront homes are a block away, so this home is a bargain! You've visited the website, now contact us for a tour, bring your offer!

Outside shots
One more photo for you. This is the front of the house while the movie 25 Hill was being filmed in our home! In April 2010 Corbin Bernsen and his production company rented our home to film the interior scenes for the film he is making about a family's entry in the All-American Soapbox Derby. To see the promotional trailer go to www.25hill.com. They plan to complete filming in July 2010 at Derby Downs in Akron, and to release the film in the Summer of 2011. In the trailer you'll see a bit of our livingroom, foyer, a bedroom office and garage, but more in the complete film, of course. The new homeowner gets a copy of the scrapbook we're making. What fun!
