Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The property was built in 1926, well over 50 years ago. The listing explicitly states the 'existing structure is likely not financeable' and is an 'ideal redevelopment opportunity,' with the property's value based solely on the land. The property analysis further confirms it's a 'tear-down' that 'adds no value, requiring demolition costs.' The exterior images show a very old and neglected structure, and the absence of interior photos suggests the current living conditions are unlivable or beyond repair.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 9294, living area = 1263.
The property is explicitly marketed as a 'Prime Development Opportunity' with 'strong multi-unit development potential' due to its zoning and lot size.
