Presenting 8500 Barbara Dr., an impeccably maintained four-bedroom, three-bath colonial on a quiet, wooded cul-de-sac in Mentor’s desirable Harvest Home / Santoli subdivision. A full-width covered front porch and mature landscaping establish refined curb appeal and a sense of privacy. Inside, new wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring unifies a sun-filled formal living room with an oversized picture window, an elegant formal dining room, and an open-concept kitchen and family room tailored to contemporary living. The fully renovated kitchen showcases abundant cabinetry, stunning granite countertops, a chic tile backsplash, new appliances, an upgraded sink and fixtures, generous storage, a breakfast-bar peninsula, and a custom built-in mail area. Twin glass sliders from the dinette and family room extend the living area to a multi-tier deck with tranquil wooded views and a meandering stream. A tastefully updated bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms feature new flooring; the primary suite offers a private bath with ceramic flooring, while a refreshed hall bath serves the secondary bedrooms (one presently used as an office). The walkout lower level dramatically expands utility with a large recreation zone and direct access to a full concrete patio—ideal for year-round entertaining—plus a backyard storage shed. Thoughtful improvements include a Kinetico water softener, de-chlorinator, and reverse osmosis system (Sept 2020), along with comprehensive fixture and finish upgrades. Whole house generator, large 2 car attached garage with storage shelves. With a full walkout basement, 3 sets of glass sliders to the back, natural vistas, and meticulous inside-and-out updates, this cul-de-sac residence delivers the privacy, scale, and flexibility today’s buyers value—moments to shopping, dining, parks, and commuter routes. Simply move in and enjoy.
