Description

Here’s one you’ll want to see! This “tear down” Cape Cod home sits on a wonderful street in the ‘Whittier Heights’ neighborhood of Ballard and has had the same owner for the past 30 years. The location is fantastic, near a great Elementary School, shops & businesses, however the condition of the home is compromised with no heat source, problems with plumbing and electrical so it is being sold as a building opportunity. The location is great with bus service into town, bike paths to nearby parks,...Here’s one you’ll want to see! This “tear down” Cape Cod home sits on a wonderful street in the ‘Whittier Heights’ neighborhood of Ballard and has had the same owner for the past 30 years. The location is fantastic, near a great Elementary School, shops & businesses, however the condition of the home is compromised with no heat source, problems with plumbing and electrical so it is being sold as a building opportunity. The location is great with bus service into town, bike paths to nearby parks, and here in the Whittier neighborhood you can enjoy all that nearby Greenwood and Ballard have to offer. The property is on a lot that is 40 x 94 according to tax records and the home is assessed at $113,000 with the land assessed at $571,000 so the current tax assessment for this property is $684,800. Located on a quiet street with a one-car garage and paved alley in ever-popular Whittier Heights, this home is being sold in “As Is” condition and may be easiest to purchase with a cash offer without traditional financing since there is ‘no heat’ and waiving all contingencies. Seller has requested a quick closing.
