Celebrity Chef and ‘The Chew’ Co-Host Michael Symon Lists Tudor-Style Mansion in Cleveland for $550K

Chef Michael Symon—co-host of ABC’s ‘The Chew,’ and James Beard Foundation Award-winner—has listed his Tudor revival mansion in Cleveland Heights. The iron chef is asking $549K for the home. Symon purchased the house in 2013, for $290K.

Dating to 1928, the house is a textbook example of the style from the outside, but comprehensive and recent update has opened up the interior, and relieved it from what may have been a typically dark and compartmental execution. The exterior features a lovely mix of red brick and exposed timbers and stucco, leaded windows, a front entrance embellished with rusticated stone, and characteristic single and double chimney stacks.

The house measures a little more than 2,800 square feet, and contains five bedrooms and 3.5 baths. The interior has kept the Tudor arches, and merged the softness of those lines with a more modern design aesthetic. Wide-plank floors have been finished in a light-toned gloss, and hardwood surrounds, fireplace mantels and trim vary the wood tones considerably without delving into darkness or too much warmth.

The kitchen: functional, considered, and unassuming. Subway tile is in an understated gray, but there’s enough of it to give the space a quietly assertive identity. Marble countertops and island cap lend a good sense of substance, and the period-style industrial wall sconces are a nice touch. A set of French doors off the dayroom open broadly onto the property.

The master suite features some cool toning, most overtly in the master bath, where olive green is contrasted soothingly with white subway tile. The master bedroom features a fireplace, built-ins, and plentiful glass looking out onto the tree-lined quarter-acre lot, where an outdoor dining area and a footbridge over a natural stream await.

Symon’s award-winning restaurants include Roast, in Detroit, and Cleveland foodie mainstays Lola and Lolita. In 2015, he opened Symon’s Burger Joint in Austin.
