Opportunity awaits at 74 Ridge Road, ideally situated in a desirable West Barnstable location on just under half an acre. This architecturally interesting three-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home offers a unique "upside-down" layout and is ready for its next chapter. Much of the interior has already been gutted, providing a blank canvas for an investor, builder, or buyer looking to create something special. The upper level features an open kitchen and living area with a fireplace and access to a spacious deck, while the lower level offers three bedrooms and a full bath. A brand-new septic system adds significant value and takes care of an important piece of the renovation process. With its distinctive design, generous lot, desirable West Barnstable setting, and renovation already underway, this property presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine and finish a truly unique Cape Cod home. Bring your vision and unlock the potential! Property is being sold as is.
