Your neighbors are suing a mansion for almost $6M

Okay real quick—you know how in Cleveland, we have these pockets of serious money, right? Like, Kirtland, out past where you'd normally take the Rapid, near the Holden Arboretum? Yeah, no, it's gorgeous. So, there's this historic place, the Playmore mansion from 1929, just hit the market for almost six million dollars. It's got seven bedrooms, ten bathrooms, the whole shebang. That's a lot of toilet paper, am I right? But the real buzz? The neighbors are the ones who got it on the market, after suing the owner.

### Not Your Average Foreclosure

So this isn't some normal foreclosure because someone couldn't pay their property taxes, which happens a lot closer to where I grew up in Slavic Village. This is a story about neighbors who took the owner of this sprawling estate to court over a whole bunch of issues, and the court ruled in their favor. It’s not just a house; it’s a piece of Kirtland history, built by Benjamin Hubbell. And now, after all this legal drama, it's up for grabs. Imagine being the kind of neighbor who has to sue to get the mansion next door sold. That's a level of neighborhood watch I don't think they teach you at the West Side Market.

* This place is huge: 7 beds, 10 baths.

* Built in 1929 by Benjamin Hubbell.

* Neighbors sued the previous owner, leading to the sale.

* Asking price is just under $6 million.

It's a wild reminder that even in the quiet, tree-lined streets of Northeast Ohio's wealthiest suburbs, there's always some kind of drama bubbling under the surface. For Clevelanders, it’s a peek into a totally different world, one where neighborly disputes end up with a mansion hitting the market for millions. It’s not exactly the kind of stuff we talk about down by the Free Stamp, but it’s definitely something that makes you go, "huh, only in Ohio."

Cleveland on the wire — we've been here the whole time.
