The location is superb with gorgeous southeast views of historic Ridge Road and walking distance to downtown Excelsior and the many restaurants, trails and shopping. THE VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY IS IN THE LAND AS A NEW HOME SITE The home has 3,750 square feet of living space and sits on nearly an acre of land. The property features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, providing ample room for comfortable living.
