Hickory hardwood floors, 8-foot solid alder doors and a living room under 25-foot ceilings run through the 2011 house at 215 Brighton Ln, which occupies 3.5 acres adjoining Cuyahoga Valley National Park and carries a reported 10,846 square feet. Its sale was one of five reported home sales across the Akron metro area for the week of September 21 through September 27, 2026, a group that totaled $6.32 million.
The week’s five closings reach Brighton in Boston Heights, Scenic View Estates and E Hudson Hills in Hudson, and Bath and Rosemont Retreat in Akron. Recorded build years run from 1935 to 2011, and the No. 5 property is a house still to be built.

Alison M Baranek of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Stouffer Realty was the listing agent. Baranek has one earlier sale in a RealtyWire Top 5 roundup for the Akron metro area. Emily K Beck of RE/MAX Oasis Dream Homes represented the buyer.
Two near-century houses stand on a single parcel of more than eight acres at 2801 Yellow Creek Rd in Akron, under a grandfathered status that allows both homes on one property. The sale was completed September 22, 2026 at $970,000.
