Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1951 and described as being in 'original condition,' this 73-year-old home has not undergone significant renovations. The interior shows dated wood paneling, popcorn ceilings, and worn flooring. The listing's emphasis on cash buyers, contractors, and a full renovation indicates that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems likely require a complete rehab to meet modern safety and functional standards.
