Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Tear down
TeardownExcellent

Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.

Built in 1965 and explicitly described as a 'fixer' that is 'unloved for years' and 'damaged by fire somewhere in time,' this property requires extensive rehabilitation. The images confirm a state of extreme disrepair, with severely damaged flooring, outdated and likely non-functional kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures, peeling walls, and general neglect throughout. The agent's statement 'You name it - this one needs it!' combined with the fire damage history and the visible condition suggests the structure is likely beyond economical repair, making its value primarily in the land for redevelopment, consistent with a 'tear-down' classification.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Extensive Renovation Required

    The property is described as 'unloved for years' and 'damaged by fire somewhere in time,' indicating a need for significant capital investment and effort for restoration.

  • Comprehensive Repairs Needed

  • Outdated Systems and Finishes

    Built in 1965, the property likely features outdated systems and finishes, which will contribute to the overall renovation cost and complexity to bring it to modern standards.
