"moveable feast" lakeside cottage in Lakeside

The Cottage on Central Avenue is directly across the street from the
Hoover Auditorium. This Victorian Home built in 1873 has belonged to
me since 1990. It is decorated tastefully. The full front open porch is wonderful
for morning coffee or afternoon lemonade.
Inside is the main dining room, sitting area, den, 1/2
bath and kitchen. The Kitchen is stocked with all necessary food
preparation equipment for your cooking enjoyment.
Upstairs are 4 bedrooms. #1 bedroom has a twin bed, #2 bedroom has
two twin beds, #3 bedroom has a twin bed and #4 bedroom has a full
bed. There is a full bathroom in the hall. The #4 bedroom has a full
bathroom also. The backyard is small but accomodates our picnic table and
grill. You must provide your own linens for the above beds and your
own towels. There is parking at the street or in the shared
driveway. The cottage is not air-conditioned, nor does it have
television. When our children were small, if they said "it's so
hot...we need air conditioning..." we'd tell them to go get in the
lake.....also, we wanted our children to find out what it was like
to be outside, finding friends and just "playing"...we allow no
television, play-station, x-box....etc.....you'll love to see your
kids having a different type of summer....Lakeside is very conducive
to this type of summer for them. Lakeside is not your normal
resort...it is for families, for spending time with your children
and finding peace....

THIS COTTAGE IS NOT CURRENTLY LISTED BY A REALTOR FOR SALE, BUT I'M ALWAYS INTERESTED IN SELLING IF
THE RIGHT PERSON IS INTERESTED.....$398,000.00

Lakeside, Ohio is a "Chautaugua" on Lake Erie. It was first
developed in the later 1800's for women and teachers to come and
learn how to teach Sunday School, to broaden the horizons of
families and provide seminars with famous folks of the time.
Rutherford B Hayes stayed on site at a nearby still standing and
currently used hotel,
Eleanor Roosevelt visited several times and lectured as did Norman
Vincent Peale and wife. Today it is a haven for families to come and
enjoy the treats of summer, still participating in seminars,
lectures and the arts.
The cottage is located 1 block from Lake Erie...within a comfortable
walking distance. At the park is shuffleboard, miniature golf, golf
cart rentals, shops, sailing lessons, boat renovation classes, art
classes and live entertainment in the evenings at the Hoover
Auditorium. August is the month for our very own Lakeside Symphony.
Because we are right across the street from the entertainment hub,
you will appreciate the symphony rehearsals in the morning with your
coffee or with friends on the porch in the evening...this is an easy
way to vacation with all of your family. the setting at lakeside is
very close to how it was to grow up in the 50's....kids go in the
morning to find own adventures and return for meals....set up
appointments with parents to meet in the afternoon, and experience
freedom as not found in our lives today. check into Lakeside
Association, on line to find out more about this wonderful
community...

Within only several miles is Cedar Point, Kelley's Island, Put-in-
Bay, Catawba Island, Port Clinton, Milan and Sandusky. Boating,
water sports, hiking, swimming, antique shops..an hour from toledo,
an hour and half from cleveland.
