Renovated 3BR/1.5BA Portsmouth Cape Cod with Detached Workshop

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 5 @ 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 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 1 full plus 1 half bath. The seller has already invested in a substantial interior renovation - 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.

The remaining scope (HVAC and bathroom water lines) is finite and well-understood, letting a buyer bid with confidence and move quickly to a finished product. Combined with a private lot, workshop-ready detached garage, and a walkable Portsmouth neighborhood, this is a compelling value-add opportunity.
