Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1924, this property is very old and shows no evidence of significant recent renovations. The images reveal extremely outdated and neglected interiors. Both kitchens feature old white appliances, basic cabinets, worn countertops, and dated flooring. The bathrooms are in poor condition with old vanities, stained fixtures, and very basic, old tiling. The overall condition suggests the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' category, and the listing description itself highlights the potential for redevelopment or extensive renovation.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Age and Condition of Existing Structure
Built in 1924, the property likely requires substantial renovation or complete redevelopment, implying significant upfront investment beyond the purchase price.
- Limited Lot Size for Redevelopment
While R-2 zoned, the 3,200 sqft lot size may impose limitations on the scale or design of a new duplex development compared to larger parcels in the area.
