About This Home

Known to locals as the iconic Red Roof House, this one-of-a-kind waterfront estate has been a landmark on Cedar Point Road for generations. Renowned for exceptional walleye and perch fishing right from its private dock, it offers a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Lake Erie history. Welcome to 1431 Cedar Point Road, a rare lake-to-bayfront luxury estate on one of Sandusky's most desirable waterfront settings. Offering breathtaking views and direct access to both Lake Erie and Sandusky Bay, this 7,880-square-foot custom home was extensively rebuilt in 2012, blending modern construction with timeless design. The estate features 165 feet of private deeded sandy beach on Lake Erie and a 70-foot dock with a 7,000-pound boat lift on Sandusky Bay, creating an unmatched dual-waterfront lifestyle. Designed for entertaining and everyday living, the home offers five bedrooms, seven full baths, two half baths, and a three-car garage. Inside, rich hardwood floors complement a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and three wet bars, two with ice makers. A temperature- and humidity-controlled wine cellar, private elevator, four fireplaces, and spiral staircase leading to the crow's nest showcase the home's exceptional craftsmanship. The primary suite features a walk-in closet, glamour bath with dual vanities, oversized shower, jetted tub, and private lakefront balcony. Four additional bedrooms include en-suite baths, ideal for family and guests. Outdoor living includes multiple balconies, beautifully landscaped grounds, and a private beach house with a fireplace, wet bar, and half bath. A rare opportunity to own the legendary Red Roof House, where Lake Erie history meets luxury waterfront living.
