This is Akron's most established prestige residential corridor, home to professionals, executives, and families who expect their homes to reflect the same standard as the rest of their lives.
We specialize in kitchen remodeling, bathroom renovation, and first floor transformations.
What Montrose-Ghent Homes Look Like
Montrose-Ghent is defined by its scale and its finishes. Larger lots, custom-built homes, and properties that have been maintained with real care. The renovation need here is not neglect. It is evolution. Kitchens and bathrooms that were considered premium when they were installed 20 years ago now need to be elevated to match what the rest of the market has moved toward.
The bones are excellent. The opportunity is to bring the finishes forward without losing the character that makes these homes worth investing in.
