This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $500,000—positioned well above the $468,077 Fair Market Value by 6%.

Built in 1950 and fire-damaged in the mid-1990s, the structure is unlivable and hazardous. The listing explicitly states the primary value is in the land and provides conceptual plans for new multi-unit development.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14374, living area = 1384.
Zoned VR-15, the property offers significant upside for investors with the potential to build 2-4 units or leverage SB9 for increased density.

Yes folks there is a house under these trees and brush. Due to the condition of the property, property will only be shown with a acceptable offer. The primary value of this property is in the land.**** The Home was damaged by fire in the mid 1990's***** P L E A S E D O N O T GO ON P R O P E R T Y and those who do trespass do so at their own risk! All who enter do so without permission of the seller. **However the property may be eligible for an FHA renovation loan.*** Highest and best use Zoned VR-15 would be 2-4 units and if you have a good architect maybe that can apply SB9 to this property maybe more.
