Welcome to 237 Ridgewood Ave, a timeless 1928 brick Colonial nestled in one of Davenport's most beautiful neighborhoods. Over 3,100 above-grade square feet (plus a finished walk-out basement), this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence seamlessly bridges historic charm and high-end modern convenience. The main level welcomes you with refinished hardwood flooring and exquisite period millwork throughout. The living room features built-in bookcases and a stately fireplace, perfectly accented by a dedicated sitting room and a bright, heated 4-season sunroom-ideal for year-round morning coffee or evening relaxation. The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen with granite countertops. All this space will come in handy if you are interested in hosting gatherings in the adjacent formal dining room. The second level boasts four spacious bedrooms, including an impressive primary suite featuring a 12x7 walk-in closet and a full bath with large tiled shower and double-sink vanity. Head down to the versatile lower level to discover a daylight walk-out basement featuring a large recreation room, mudroom, laundry, and a flexible 5th bedroom finished with luxury vinyl planking-ideal for guests, an in-law suite, or a private home office. Other perks include an outdoor covered patio, an invisible fence system for your pets, dual zone central air conditioning, whole house fan, and an EV charging station at the 2 car garage.
McClellan Heights, located between East Locust Street and the Mississippi River, is a historic and residential Davenport neighborhood with bluff-top views and curving, tree-lined streets. Large early-20th-century homes and tidy brick apartments follow the neighborhood’s rolling topography, with stair-stepped sidewalks and pocket greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lindsay Park riverfront edge, where paths, overlooks, and picnic lawns set a relaxed, outdoorsy rhythm. The Figge Art Museum and the Adler Theatre anchor nearby cultural nights, while the Freight House Farmers Market adds a weekly pulse of local food and makers. A short drive west, the Village of East Davenport’s independent storefronts and cafes extend the neighborhood’s day-to-day orbit. River breezes and landmark architecture give the area a composed, lived-in feel.
