RICHFIELD, Ohio – Real estate is more than just square footage and sale prices. Every home tells a story – of dreams, design, and the people who bring them to life.
That’s the spirit behind WKYC’s new series, “Beyond the Listing,” where we explore homes across Northeast Ohio that go far beyond the basics. From jaw-dropping listings to deeply lived-in spaces full of memory and meaning, this is where real estate meets storytelling.
We’re kicking things off with a home that’s captivated real estate watchers nationwide – from Zillow Gone Wild to Homes.com. Located in Richfield’s prestigious Glencairn Forest, the fully renovated estate at 3377 E. Galloway Drive is an unparalleled property in every sense of the word.
This 12,000+ square foot residence sits on 1.2 manicured acres and blends timeless elegance with luxurious comfort. From the stately circular driveway and oversized four-car garage to the copper-ceilinged primary suite, every detail feels intentional and elevated.
The chef’s kitchen anchors the heart of the home, boasting granite countertops, a massive island, top-of-the-line appliances, and seamless flow into a warm, inviting family room. Sliding doors open to a covered stone patio with a soaring gas fireplace – perfect for year-round indoor-outdoor living.
But what truly sets this home apart lies beneath the main floor.
In the lower level, you’ll find a professional-grade indoor basketball court – once used by none other than Shaquille O’Neal during his time playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and featured in commercials with current Cavs star Darius Garland. WWE’s The Miz is even said to have filmed part of his reality show here.
Adjacent to the court: a pub-style bar, a catering kitchen, a 400-bottle wine room, and a state-of-the-art home theater that makes movie night, or date night, feel like a red carpet event. For moments of relaxation, a personal spa complete with a 400-gallon aquarium – offers a true escape.
"The amount of volume and light is absolutely extraordinary in this property, and everything is very open – from the beautiful dining room to this sitting room to this gorgeous chef’s kitchen, "says David Ayers of The Agency Cleveland.
Additional features include dual laundry rooms, a stunning home office with garden views, and a versatile bonus space above the second garage – ideal for a gym, studio, or private retreat.
“If I lived in this house, I would literally never leave,” Ayers told 3News.
The Galloway property has officially been sold, but its legacy lives on as the first stop in our “Beyond the Listing” journey – where we spotlight the spaces that capture our imaginations, and the people who’ve called them home.
