** Highest & Best Monday 6-6-22 10 AM *** This once loved 1930s Morris Cove Cape has fallen into foreclosure and disrepair. Are you the one with the vision to look beyond the current condition and appreciate the possibilities? This property boasts a rare, oversized corner lot just two blocks from the Pardee Seawall in a well-established tree-lined sidewalk neighborhood. Whether you decide to restore within the current footprint or renovate this home with your personal vision – Potential Exists! The original charm of high ceilings, wood doors with glass doorknobs, arched entries, a fireplace flanked with built-ins, and a unique Juliet balcony overlooks the stairs and a window with views of the backyard. An everchanging backdrop of colors from established gardens of perennials, trees, and shrubs will be a yearly ritual, not to mention a gardener's dream. Maple cabinetry, granite counters, replacement windows, tile backsplash, and a breakfast bar are features in this sunny kitchen. Located on the second floor in the front of the home is a modern full bath that offers a shower with a glass surround, a vanity with cultured marble top mirrored medicine cabinet, all highlighted by brushed nickel hardware throughout. While the history of the home is unknown, it is obvious there was some type of water intrusion that unfortunately warped the hardwood floors in parts of the home but most extensively in the living room.
