Charming Craftsman cottage full of history and opportunity in the heart of Richmond! 3226 Cliff Ave has been lovingly held by the same family for over 60 years and is ready for its next chapter. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath home features timeless character, including a cozy fireplace, classic architectural details, and a welcoming footprint with a half basement for additional storage or workspace.
Recent updates include a newer roof (approx. 5–6 years old) and a recently installed water heater, providing a solid starting point for renovation. The home does require significant TLC and is being sold strictly as-is. Due to condition, it will not qualify for traditional financing—cash buyers only.
This is a foreclosure situation with a fast-approaching deadline, creating a unique opportunity for investors or buyers ready to act quickly. There is urgency to close—don’t miss the chance to restore this truly darling home to its former charm.
