A Rare Dual Purpose Opportunity on Noe Bixby: Historic Colonial Estate, Commercial Zoning, Unmatched Visibility
Step into over a century of history at 3900 Noe Bixby Rd, a commanding two story brick colonial believed to be the largest home of its kind in the immediate area. Built in 1910 and spanning nearly 4,800 square feet on a third of an acre, this property offers a scale and presence that simply cannot be replicated at this price point.
For nearly four decades this address was home to "The Wedding Plantation," a beloved third generation bridal and formal wear business that became a Central Ohio icon. That legacy has left behind more than memories. It left behind a building purpose built for flexibility: multiple entrances, expansive display windows, a functional two level layout, and a second floor with existing plumbing and floorplan to support residential living quarters again.
Here is what makes this listing rare: the parcel carries SCPD (Select Commercial Planned District) zoning, granted in 1986, and it is the only commercially zoned property on this entire section of Noe Bixby Rd. The next nearest commercial parcel sits over half a mile away. That kind of zoning scarcity, paired with a residential scale building, means this property can serve almost any vision: a live/work estate, a retail storefront, a medical or professional office, a daycare, a salon, or a multi unit residential conversion.
The location works as hard as the building does. Traffic counts average 7,000 to 8,000 vehicles per day according to ODOT, giving any commercial use built in visibility from day one. The property sits minutes from US 33, I 270, and I 70, right in the corridor connecting Pickerington, Canal Winchester, Groveport, and Columbus, putting both residential comfort and commercial reach within easy access.
Practical upgrades are already handled. The building features a newer roof and forced air heat throughout, along with approximately 16 onsite parking spaces plus additional street parking, and you can convert some of the living area back into a 3 car garage.
