More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: The property is explicitly described as a 'gutted triplex' and the images confirm an unfinished interior with exposed studs, damaged flooring, and no functional kitchen or bathrooms. While there are approved plans for completion, the current state is uninhabitable and requires a full build-out, which constitutes substantial rehabilitation rather than minor repairs or a complete tear-down of the existing structure.
