Rare chance to build in The Greens, one of Meridian Township's most established condominium communities. At 6243 W Golfridge Drive, two lots have been combined into a single generous homesite of just over 0.23 acres (10,159 sq ft), with mature trees along the rear. The land slopes gently from front to back, a natural fit for a walk-out lower level. The rear looks out over the former golf course, which is now privately owned with just one home built on it, so the setting is wonderfully private. Much of the homework is already done. The parcel has been surveyed, and a 2025 geotechnical report found firm clay and dense clayey sand suited to conventional foundations, with no groundwater encountered. Water, sanitary, storm, gas, electric, and communications leads are already at the front of the lot. The Association's building guidelines ensure quality construction that complements the surrounding homes. The survey and soil report are available online. Please request link to building requirements from sellers agent.
