More Insights
Built in 1944 (81 years old).
Condition: Built in 1944, this property is described as a 'small rustic cabin' with significant 'redevelopment potential,' indicating the existing structure is not the primary value. The absence of any interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathroom, strongly suggests these critical areas are in very poor, outdated, or non-functional condition, requiring complete renovation or replacement. The property analysis also notes 'substantial deferred maintenance' and the need for 'significant investment' for modernization or rebuilding. While potentially 'livable' in a very basic sense, it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards.
