Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1956 and marketed as an 'Investor Special,' this property requires a full rehab. The kitchen features original-style cabinetry and a vintage pink wall oven, indicating it is well over 30 years old without significant renovation. While the electrical panel has been upgraded, the worn carpeting, dated bathrooms, and overall interior condition necessitate a major overhaul rather than minor repairs.
Situated in the heart of Tempe and extremely close to the ASU campus, this property offers exceptional rental potential and high demand for student-oriented living.
The property includes a rear storage building that can be converted into two additional bedrooms, providing a clear path to increase the home's capacity and rental yield.
The home features a desirable North/South exposure for better energy efficiency, along with a large RV gate and alley access for added convenience and storage.
As a 1956 build marketed as an 'Investor Special,' the property likely requires significant capital expenditure for renovations and modernization.
