TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1976 (48 years old) and explicitly marketed as a 'Fixer Alert,' the property features original, highly dated bathrooms and finishes that have not been renovated in over 30 years. While the HVAC system is newer, the interior requires a comprehensive rehab to address the dated condition.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Significant Cosmetic Needs

- Dated 1970s Infrastructure
