Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1923, this duplex is explicitly described as requiring 'significant renovation or demolition' due to its 'Advanced Age.' The listing emphasizes its 'redevelopment potential' and 'value-add renovation' rather than its current livability. The exterior image shows a dilapidated facade, worn steps, and general neglect, strongly suggesting the property is in need of substantial repairs and rehabilitation. Without interior photos, it's highly probable that the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated and in poor condition, requiring complete replacement. While demolition is an option, the mention of 'repositioning the existing duplex' suggests it's not entirely beyond repair, but would require a massive investment to bring it to modern standards.
