Designed for wow

Mancuso Homes creates stunning interiors that pack a custom punch. 

Built in 1964, this formerly one-story brick ranch along Cleveland’s historic stretch of Edgewater Drive was a modest home with cramped rooms and dated decor. After consulting with the homeowners, the Mancusos knocked down walls, added a second floor, an addition and a covered outdoor living room.


Bringing to life spaces that are uniquely reflective of the homeowner with wow-factor design ideas, craftsmanship and a meticulous eye for detail has been a hallmark of Mancuso Homes since 2012.


Founders Darren and Kate Mancuso undertook a massive transformation of this formerly one-story brick ranch along Cleveland’s historic stretch of Edgewater Drive. Built in 1964, it was a modest home with cramped rooms and dated decor. After consulting with the homeowners, the Mancusos knocked down walls, added a second floor, an addition and a covered outdoor living room.


They have a gift for showcasing personal touches in a magnificent fashion. When they discovered the homeowners were wine aficionados, they knew that should be an element in the kitchen design. Kate came up with the genius concept for a focal point of creating a temperature-controlled wine room along one wall. The breathtaking design displays 50 bottles of the couple’s favorite trophy wines behind glass doors along a stunning lit backdrop of fine porcelain. It’s a master class in sophistication and elegance.


“This couple also loves to cook and entertain, so we designed a hidden walk-in pantry behind one wall and made space for two wine refrigerators and separate sinks in what functions as a gourmet coffee station/bar area,” says Kate. “The size of the island—an entire 10-foot slab—also makes it a focal point. The esthetic reflects a return to natural woods juxtaposed with glamorous shades of white. It’s restrained, elevated and timeless.”
