Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1953 (71 years old) with no evidence of recent renovations, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'blank canvas.' The interior shows dated galley-style kitchen tiling, original hardwood floors, and missing baseboards, indicating the home requires a full rehab to address its age and lack of modern systems.

- Classic Character Features
The home features original hardwood floors and dual brick fireplaces in both the living and family rooms, offering a charming foundation for a modern restoration.
- High Renovation Potential

- Limited Bedroom Count
With only two bedrooms for 1,323 square feet, the current configuration may be less appealing to larger families compared to other three-bedroom homes in the area.
