More Insights
Built in 1946 (79 years old).
Condition: Built in 1946, the property shows no evidence of major renovations in the past 50+ years. The kitchen and bathroom are extremely outdated with original or very old fixtures, cabinets, appliances, and finishes, requiring complete gut renovations. The overall interior features worn carpets, old light fixtures, and dated aesthetics. The listing description explicitly states the existing residence is 'likely outdated and requires extensive remodeling or replacement, not suitable for immediate move-in without significant investment,' emphasizing the property's value lies in its expansive lot and development potential, rather than the current structure.
