    Property is being sold through a VIRTUAL AUCTION on the listing brokerage website through a competitive bidding platform. List price does not reflect the final sale price. Property is being conveyed as is, where is. Sale is subject to seller confirmation. There is a 10% buyers premium added to the high bid. Virtual auction ends August 7 @ 2PM. Set on a generous 0.24-acre (10,454 SF) lot in Portsmouth's established Westhaven Park/Grove Park neighborhood, this 1985-built Cape Cod offers 2,042 SF of living space with 3 bedrooms and 1 full plus 1 half bath. The seller has already invested in a substantial interior renovation, and the remaining scope of work — HVAC and bathroom water lines — is well-defined, giving an investor or owner-occupant a clear path to a finished, move-in-ready home without guessing at hidden costs. Inside, enjoy an open-concept kitchen and living area with rich laminate wood flooring throughout the main level, granite countertops, a large center island, stainless steel dishwasher and refrigerator, updated cabinetry, and pendant and recessed lighting. A stone accent fireplace wall with wood-stove insert anchors the main living space, while French doors off the kitchen and living room open to a large, freshly built deck complete with a built-in brick grill/outdoor kitchen station, perfect for entertaining. A detached garage/workshop building is framed and roughed-in with electrical, a pellet stove for heat, a pegboard workshop wall, and its own windows and door to the backyard — a blank canvas for a workshop, studio, or garage buildout. The private, tree-lined backyard offers mature pines and hardwoods for shade and privacy. The 0.24-acre lot spans 75' of frontage by 140' of depth, is zoned UR (Urban Residential), has sewer connection, and sits in flood Zone X (minimal risk). The neighborhood boasts a Walk Score of 79/100, is served by Portsmouth City Public Schools, and offers easy access to Route 58/Frederick Blvd and the broader Hampton Roads corridor.
