More Insights
Built in 1948 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1948, this property is 76 years old. The listing explicitly describes it as a 'project' with options to 'rebuild or renovate,' strongly suggesting the existing structure is either beyond economical repair or functionally obsolete. The phrase 'typical floor plan of a house of this age' further indicates outdated systems, finishes, and layout. The image shows an aged exterior with a worn roof and neglected landscaping, reinforcing the need for extensive work. The property's value is clearly being marketed for its large lot and redevelopment potential, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the structure's value is minimal.

Multiple Ingress Points: The property benefits from three distinct access points (two on Woodside Road and one on Alexander Avenue), offering unique flexibility for site planning or potential redevelopment.
Renovation/Rebuild Opportunity: Marketed as a 'project,' it offers a significant opportunity for buyers to customize, renovate, or rebuild to their exact specifications, maximizing equity in a desirable area.
Cons
Significant Renovation Required: Built in 1948, the property is explicitly described as a 'project' and will require substantial investment for modernization or a complete rebuild to meet contemporary standards.
Potential Overpricing: The listing price of $2,000,000 is 5% higher than the estimated property value, which, combined with the extensive renovation needs, may present a challenge for some buyers.
Outdated Design & Systems: Given its 1948 construction, the property likely features an outdated floor plan, finishes, and potentially inefficient infrastructure, necessitating comprehensive upgrades.
