Condition: The property was built in 1952, making it over 70 years old. The listing description and property analysis explicitly state that the existing structure is a 'tear-down candidate' and highlights the 'exceptional potential to build your dream home,' indicating the value lies in the land for redevelopment. There are no interior images, and the exterior image shows an unmaintained, dated facade, confirming no major renovations have occurred in decades. The structure is considered beyond repair for modern living standards, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria.
