Updated Colonial on Nearly One Acre with 3-Car Garage
What first strikes you at 5570 Ridgewood Lane is the generous nearly one-acre setting—169 feet of frontage on a level lot that offers privacy and room for outdoor life while remaining minutes from Brecksville's top amenities. This two-story colonial, built in 2003 and meticulously cared for by the original owners, delivers 5,005 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space and modern mechanicals that reduce near-term ownership risk.
Step inside to a dramatic foyer finished with floor-to-ceiling wainscoting that sets the tone for the home's understated craftsmanship. The heart of the house is an updated family room anchored by a new stone fireplace and contemporary lighting, a comfortable gathering place after a day exploring nearby Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The interior was fully repainted and two bathrooms were renovated to provide clean, current finishes without sacrificing the home's classic proportions.
Practical upgrades are recent and significant: a new roof plus two new air conditioners and two new furnaces installed in 2024. Those investments, combined with central AC and a 3-car attached garage, make this an easy move-in proposition for families. The property also features a walk-out basement—an excellent opportunity for finished recreation space, home theater, or a workshop—pending buyer inspection for finish options and moisture assessment.
Upstairs you’ll find four well-proportioned bedrooms and multiple full baths (5.5 total), offering flexibility for home offices, guest suites, and family needs. Outside, the level yard frames the home with mature trees and room for play, gardening, or future projects. Valleybrook’s quiet streets, proximity to Brecksville Reservation and Cuyahoga Valley National Park, and the highly rated Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools make this a standout option for buyers prioritizing lifestyle and long-term appreciation.
From a value standpoint, recent comparable sales on Ridgewood Lane and nearby suggest a market valuation in the $900K–$950K range; this home’s combination of lot size, turnkey systems, and tasteful interior updates positions it competitively. Buyers and agents are encouraged to verify permits for recent work and to schedule a professional inspection, particularly to evaluate the walk-out basement. For families seeking space, quality schools, and room to grow within an established Brecksville neighborhood, this home deserves a close look.
