Great opportunity to renovate this brick cape cod in the Mercer neighborhood of Shaker Heights. Imagine relaxing on the inviting front porch and enjoying the large back yard. Situated one street over from Van Aken District, Shaker's popular gaterhing place with dining and shopping, and with the RTA Blue Line adjacent, you will enjoy the best Shaker has to offer. Get a headstart with a recently installed furnace and AC condenser, along with a very tidy basement and nicely cared for landscaping. Large, newer garage. Expansion space galour on the second floor. The house has been well maintained by one family since 1981. Maximize your investment by assuming the POS violations. Fanastic location with great commute to downtown, universities, hospitals and University Circle, Cleveland's cultural center.
