About this home
Open house! Saturday, October 17th from 12pm-2pm. Pleasant Ridge's leading home seller presents this classic brick colonial that blends timeless character with a fresh, light-filled feel, offering three bedrooms, one and a half baths, a partially finished basement, and a detached two-car garage. Step inside to a sun-washed living room where gleaming hardwood floors stretch beneath big windows and a natural fireplace. The living room opens into a bright dining room that's just right for easy weeknight dinners or hosting friends. The kitchen keeps things clean and airy with open shelving, stainless steel appliances, plenty of cabinet space, and a window over the sink that pulls in natural light. A convenient half bath rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, hardwood continues into the primary bedroom and second bedroom, both with great natural light, while the third bedroom makes a cozy nursery, guest room, or home office. The full bath features a tub and shower with sliding glass doors and a spacious vanity. Downstairs, the finished family room is ready for movie nights with built-in cabinetry and shelving, while the rest of the basement offers laundry and plenty of storage. Out back, a covered patio invites slow mornings and summer evenings overlooking the fenced yard, with the detached garage completing the picture. Residents also enjoy access to the Pleasant Ridge Community Center, complete with a pool and gym. New Windows - 2022 and new Furnace/AC/Water heater - 2025. Welcome Home!
Woodward Heights, located between Woodward Avenue and Hilton Road, is a residential and walkable Ferndale neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a leafy, grid-street feel. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Woodward Avenue corridor near 9 Mile Road, where sidewalk patios, indie storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Architectural character leans toward compact Craftsman and ranch homes with tidy porches and mature trees. Downtown Ferndale’s cultural backbone shows up in staples like The Magic Bag, Rust Belt Market, and Urbanrest Brewing Company. Green space and recreation orbit nearby at Martin Road Park and the Ferndale Project’s indoor courts. Daily errands and coffee runs thread naturally into the Woodward spine without losing the quieter side-street rhythm.
