19425 Van Aken Blvd

Hampshire House is a midcentury, five-story condominium from 1955 composed primarily of one- and two-bedroom residences with occasional larger floorplans that were originally three-bedroom layouts. The masonry-and-stucco exterior and low-rise massing reflect postwar suburban-urban sensibilities; units are reached via a central elevator and interior corridors. Typical residences feature built-in cabinetry and bookshelves, breakfast bars or eat-in kitchens, crown molding, recessed lighting, granite counters, ceiling fans, and walk-in closets. Many units have been tastefully updated over time with replacement windows, remodeled kitchens and baths, and modern appliances, while others retain original midcentury details such as beamed ceilings in principal bedrooms. Common areas include an attended, heated indoor garage with assigned parking, laundry facilities and a utility/storage room on each floor, and an entrance foyer that opens to landscaped grounds and courtyard views, some looking over the adjoining Shaker Heights Country Club golf course. The condominium maintains a no-smoking policy and relatively low monthly maintenance fees that cover most building services. Location is a major asset: the building sits steps from the RTA rapid transit line and within easy walking distance of the Van Aken District retail and dining hub, with convenient access to University Circle, the Cleveland Clinic, and nearby parks and recreational amenities.
