A new year is upon us, and with it, a new set of resolutions! While tackling your January to-do list can sometimes feel like a chore, immersing yourself in the right environment (a new home, perhaps?) can do wonders in the journey toward a better you. Perhaps settling into a new home is on your list for the new year, and if so, you're in luck. Whether you've vowed to cook more meals at home or pick up a new hobby, these charming properties for sale in the Akron and Canton area are all worthy of your resolution list, and are guaranteed to set you up for success in 2018.

Spend More Quality Time with Family

This stunning estate is situated on two lots in a private setting, and boasts quality craftsmanship throughout! The warm and inviting living spaces are perfect for gathering with loved ones. Just look at the floor-to-ceiling windows, crown molding and cozy hearth! We love the idea of settling in for a long game of chess or a conversation by the fire. During the summer months, head outside to the large patio! This outdoor haven features a grilling area, pristine landscaping and plenty of room for a patio set.

Cook More Meals at Home

Maybe you're looking to save a bit of money this year by skipping the takeout and cooking more meals at home! In that case, you will need a gorgeous kitchen like this one. The kitchen island offers additional storage, a stove and a double oven — the perfect preparation space for home chefs. We also love the natural stone countertops, windows above the sink, and stunning wood floors! Once your meal is prepared, enjoy it in the nearby dining area or on the back porch.

Embrace Your Green Thumb

This home is for sale at 388 North Hametown Road, Bath | Listed by Barb Hudak

Nothing says home quite like a beautiful, thriving garden. Whether you have a green thumb or not, this home makes cultivating plants fun and easy! The sun room is located outside of the master bedroom on the second floor, and offers gorgeous views of the property and surrounding scenery. Cover the sill with potted plants, or work on perfecting the landscape. With 7.8 acres of land, there is plenty to work with!

Have Friends Over More Often

Friends and family will love visiting this gorgeous Medina home — and with five bedrooms, there is plenty of room for them to spend the night if they wish! Gather around the fireplace in the large family room, cook meals together in the eat-in kitchen, or retreat to the den downstairs. The space was designed with entertaining in mind, and features a kitchenette, separate dining area and plenty of space for a large tv or pool table.

Pamper Yourself

This home is for sale at 1075 Mornington Circle, Uniontown | Listed by Dominic Fonte

If you don't already believe in love at first sight, you will when you step into this stunning home! Featuring a grand entryway, upscale kitchen, and elegant detailing throughout, just living here would be a treat. But if you want to take pampering to the next level, take a peek inside the master bath, which features a large soaking tub, a giant stone shower with dual shower heads, and a dreamy walk-in closet. Of course, maybe spending time outside is your definition of treating yourself. In that case, you will be wowed by the spacious patio and firepit. There's really no downside here.

Eat Dinner Around the Table

This home is for sale at 6440 Weston Avenue Northwest, Canton | Listed by Julie Kaszyca

It's important to take occasional breaks from the hustle and bustle of life with a quiet meal around the table. This gives you the chance to catch up with loved ones, discuss plans and actually enjoy the food you've worked so hard to prepare! This home gives you options for family dinners, featuring a lovely formal dining room off the entryway as well as a more casual eat-in kitchen space.

Get More Sleep

This home is for sale at 907 Lynnhaven Lane, Akron | Listed by Barb Hudak

Since we spend around one third of our life sleeping (or at least we should), it's important to invest in a home with a great bedroom! This property features a spacious master suite with natural light, hardwood floors and a connecting bathroom, but our favorite feature is the in-room fireplace that will keep you warm and cozy on cold winter nights. The fireplace also connects to the master bath, so you can enjoy a luxurious bubble bath next to the crackling fire! We can't imagine a better way to relax.

Don't Neglect the Laundry

This home is for sale at 2166 Mackay Circle Northwest, North Canton | Listed by Mary-Margaret Evans

We know, we know — laundry is one of the most notoriously boring and time-consuming chores there is. But this home boasts a laundry room you might actually want to spend time in. The white built-ins provide plenty of storage and amp up the aesthetic, and the taller ceiling allows you to stack the machines to occupy as little room as possible. Once you're done folding, reward yourself with a refreshing beverage on the gorgeous outdoor patio!

Start a Hobby

This home is for sale at 10088 Forty Corners Road Northwest, Massillon | Listed by Dominic Fonte

Have you ever thought of cultivating a vegetable garden? What about raising your own chickens? 2018 would be a great year to start a new hobby, and this property, with 11.9 acres of pristine land, offers plenty of opportunities to do so. The acreage is a rare find (especially in such a fabulous location) but we are also smitten with the home itself. Featuring a charming brick exterior with modern amenities, it's the perfect space to relax after a long day working on the land.
