3857 Heron Watch Drive, Akron, OH

This luxury ranch offers the best of Portage Lakes living—your own boat slip and direct access to the Main Chain, without the expense and responsibility of maintaining a seawall. Located in the highly sought-after Heron Watch subdivision, the home offers nearly 4,000 square feet of beautifully updated finished living space and a boat slip just a short walk through the nieghborhood on Cottage Grove Lake. From there, connect by boat to the East Reservoir and the interconnected Portage Lakes Main Chain, with easy access to the restaurants, bars, wineries and dock scene of the West Reservoir and Turkeyfoot Lake—then return home to a quiet residential neighborhood. Inside, extensive luxury updates complement an expansive one-floor layout designed for everyday living and entertaining. The open kitchen and living area flows onto the outdoor patio or into the oversized dining room. Two of the three main-floor bedrooms feature private en suite bathrooms with bidets and upgraded finishes. The spacious owner’s suite includes an en suite bath leading to a large walk-in closet, while the third bedroom works equally well as a guest room or office. Downstairs, the finished lower level is made for entertaining, with a stone bar, sink, dishwasher and full karaoke setup—including stage, lyric screen and sound system, all staying with the home. Another large room offers additional sleeping, movie or flex space, plus unfinished storage. Spend summer days boating, pull up to dinner by water and enjoy everything Portage Lakes has to offer—then come home without the shoreline maintenance. **Heron Watch gives you the luxury lake lifestyle without the lakefront upkeep.**
