Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this property shows significant age and a lack of modern updates. The kitchen features very outdated cabinets, concrete-like countertops, a small tile backsplash, and an old range, all requiring a full renovation. The bathrooms are similarly dated with basic fixtures and worn tiling. While the back 'home' appears livable, the overall property, including the former preschool space, exhibits substantial wear and tear, dated systems (e.g., window AC units), and finishes that necessitate extensive repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards. The listing's focus on 'investors and developers' further indicates the need for significant capital investment.
Explicitly marketed as a 'rare opportunity' for investors and developers, indicating significant potential for redevelopment, conversion, or specialized commercial use.
Zoned for school use and formerly a preschool, this property offers unique possibilities for educational, childcare, or other community-oriented ventures, appealing to a niche market.
The presence of two buildings, including a separate home in the back, provides versatility for multiple income streams, multi-generational living, or a live-work setup.
Built in 1949, the property likely requires significant updates to its infrastructure, systems, and aesthetics to meet modern standards and preferences, incurring substantial renovation costs.
While a strength for some, the 'school use' zoning may present challenges or require a complex and costly rezoning process for buyers intending a purely residential or different commercial use, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
The listing price of $1,690,888 for a 1949 property with specialized zoning and likely needing updates could be perceived as high, potentially deterring buyers looking for move-in ready or standard residential properties.
