16100 Van Aken Blvd

The Carlton House Condominiums is a five-story residential midrise constructed in 1958 and composed primarily of two- and three-bedroom units. The building presents a traditional midcentury condominium layout with an elevator-served main lobby, wide corridors and clusters of eight units per floor. Individual residences favor open living and dining flows, generous natural light from large windows overlooking Van Aken Boulevard, and practical storage: double-door entry closets, multiple hall and pantry closets, and walk-in bedroom closets. Kitchens commonly include breakfast bars, laminate or solid-surface counters, wood-shelved cabinetry and ventilated cooktops; many units have been updated over time with modern appliances and finishes. Shared amenities emphasize convenience rather than extravagance: an attended lobby, a courtyard, on-floor laundry access plus common laundry rooms, an underground heated garage with assigned spaces (some with car-wash bay), extra rear parking, and a full-time custodian/management presence. The property sits adjacent to Shaker Heights’ commercial corridors and rapid transit, placing residents within walking distance of the Van Aken District, Shaker Town Center, Shaker Square, local parks, restaurants and the Blue Line rapid transit. Pet and service policies are managed by the condominium association and typical maintenance fees cover building upkeep and common services.
