Own a piece of early Troy history and bring it back to its original grandeur! Dating to 1851, and on the market for the first time since 1960, this stately two-story home sits on an acre of land high on Ridge Avenue's hill. The generous 3508-square-foot home has large, open rooms with hardwood floors and plaster walls, 5 Bedrooms, 3.5 Baths, front and back staircases, and a full basement! The garage started to be converted to a family room, but the space could also make a fabulous 19x27 kitchen, with lots of windows, and double doors that open to a covered porch and side yard. Charming front balcony overlooking the hillside. This home has so much potential and history * ALSO, the buyer would have a possibility of purchasing 609 Old Newton Pike, the adjoining property to the back of 1238 Ridge. It is a 2-bedroom home with basement and 2-car garage on nearly a half-acre.* Contact Listing Agent, Mary Couser for further information.
