Historic Gem in West Pleasant Ridge – Rare Opportunity on Expansive Corner Lot A truly rare opportunity to own and reimagine a piece of Pleasant Ridge history. Situated on a wooded, over ¾-acre corner lot in highly desirable West Pleasant Ridge, this distinguished 1911 solid brick home offers approximately 3,000 sq. ft. and is being offered for only the second time since 1939. Rich in character and architectural detail, the home features 5 bedrooms, one full bath, one half bath, and one three-quarter bath. Expansive living spaces include a 15' x 27' living room with fireplace, a 13' x 15' dining room, and an 11' x 11' office. Original craftsmanship shines through with solid oak trim, two sets of beveled-glass triple French doors, high ceilings, and an abundance of natural light from numerous large windows throughout. The kitchen offers two pantries for ample storage, while the home's infrastructure includes hot water heat with cast iron radiators, copper plumbing, PVC drains, and a full dry basement. Covered porches on both the main and second levels, along with a large attic, provide additional space and versatility. A standout feature is the steel-frame clear span garage, offering over 1,500 sq. ft. plus approximately 1,000 sq. ft. above - ideal for multiple vehicles, workshop space, or creative use. This property is a true restoration opportunity, with estimated updates and repairs available upon request. With the recent $150,000 price reduction, the home is now offered at $950,000, presenting exceptional value for buyers seeking to customize and build long-term equity in a premier location. The seller is highly motivated and will consider all serious offers. Land contract terms are available and negotiable, providing additional flexibility for qualified buyers. A rare combination of history, land, and potential - this is an opportunity not to be missed.
