Historic Gem in West Pleasant Ridge – Rare Offering on Expansive Corner Lot
For buyers with vision, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own and reimagine a piece of Pleasant Ridge history. Nestled on a wooded, over ¾-acre corner lot in highly desirable West Pleasant Ridge, this distinguished 1911 solid brick home offers nearly 3,000 sq.ft. of living space and is available for only the second time since 1939.
The 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence is filled with character: soaring ceilings, original oak trim, beveled-glass French doors, abundant natural light, and spacious rooms including a 15’ x 27’ living room with fireplace, a 13’ x 15’ dining room, and an 11’ x 11’ office. Covered porches, a large attic, and a dry basement provide flexibility for future use and expansion.
What makes this property truly unique is the massive steel-frame, clear-span garage offering 1,500+ sq.ft. on the main level plus 1,000 sq.ft. upstairs — ideal for a workshop, car collection, studio, or future renovation space.
This home is ready for updates, including new roofs and a kitchen renovation, giving the next owner the perfect chance to customize and upgrade to their exact specifications. With its rare combination of historic charm, solid construction, and endless potential, 24 Ridge Road is a dream project for buyers who want to put their own stamp on a truly special home.
Serious offers only. Showings available by appointment to pre-approved buyers or proof of funds. Land contract options available.
