First time on the market University area quality construction brick Cape in good original condition move in ready with curb appeal! Has the coveted charm (not your typical Cape floorplan), designed for easy expansion to the 2nd floor (or main level) for additional rooms/bedrooms (plan with master contractor/craftsman estimates available). Beautiful rolling back yard ready for a patio/fire pit with serene views of nearby waterfall. This is the ideal opportunity to create/design renovate for a dream home. Builders take note this is an easy flipper (ceiling of value is much higher in this neighborhood- similar home next door renovated/expanded several years ago just closed in July at $985,000). This location offers it all... enjoy the close proximity to the destination area downtown, train station, restaurants, nightlife, shopping, beaches all just minutes away. Inventory is low so don't wait! Closing date subject to Probate completion in progress.
