Open Houses
This one is simple. Priced as a fixer-upper, but ready as a primary or 2nd home for those that desire ... it has so much upside. Once a nicely upgraded and long-term pride of joy, it is now ready for the next owner to re-live the dream. Views? Yes! The ocean is seen from the 2nd level and the 3rd level solarium/turret. And waves can be heard. A few hundred yards from the Beach Gate pathway and Seascape Beach entrance ... it's Seacliff at its finest in location. Parking is plentiful with room for 3 cars off-street and the landscape is low maintenance and offers 2 above-ground garden beds for home-grown veggies. Come see and dream your affordable dream. Comps suggest one can do extensive upgrades and still be in-the-money. 3 bedrooms and 3 baths, with 1 downstairs and 2 upstairs. We are not staged and are providing reports to help smooth a fully disclosed sale in spite of the fact that we have an exempt and out-of-state trustee seller. This one is a must see for all.
