Extremely rare opportunity to own in Cleveland’s historic Little Italy neighborhood. Designed by award-winning local firm robert maschke ARCHITECTS, Via 126 is an exclusive offering of new homes in the most desirable location within the community: adjacent to Lake View Cemetery. The homes are comprised of three prismatic volumes designed to frame a private outdoor piazza and maximize views across the sloping hillside as the site rests on a quiet residential side street at an elevation higher than all others .  Accordingly, each home features a panoramic view across the rooftops of Little Italy to Lake Erie and Downtown from generous roof terraces uniquely carved out of the roof structures, affording homeowner’s privacy and serenity.  In a nod to the neighborhood’s cultural heritage, the homes’ materiality draw inspiration from the textures of the heterogenous stone façades found throughout the hill towns of Tuscany.
The homes positioned along East 126th Street are joined at the second, third, and forth level; however the permeability at grade provides for a unique break in the street wall thus providing for interesting views into the central court to their rear. This network of plazas, walks and buildings are based on the design principles of the hill towns for which Northern Italy is admired.  
This expansive 2,700 ft, two bedroom home features two full bathrooms and two powder rooms.  The first level includes a garage for two automobiles, ample storage space, and a welcoming foyer.  From there, travel up the open staircase or take the elevator to the second level for the home’s kitchen and living and dining spaces as well as powder room.  On the third level, one finds a stunning master suite with dramatic ceiling height, an additional bedroom with second full bathroom, and laundry room.  The terrace level spotlights a large studio, second powder room and fantastic rooftop terrace with stunning views.
