Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1950 and features a highly dated kitchen and bathroom with older cabinetry and fixtures. While the chronological age is over 70 years, recent cosmetic updates such as new interior paint and vinyl flooring keep it functional and move-in ready rather than a rehab or tear-down.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Move-In Ready Condition
The home features recent interior updates including new paint, carpeting, and vinyl flooring, making it an attractive, turnkey option for first-time buyers.
- Ample Off-Street Parking
An extended driveway leading to a private garage provides significant off-street parking capacity, a premium feature for a property of this size.
- Spacious Private Lot
The 5,445 square foot lot includes a large, private backyard, offering excellent potential for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or future structural expansion.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Square Footage
At just 828 square feet with a 2-bedroom, 1-bath configuration, the living space is quite compact and may not accommodate growing families.
- Vintage Infrastructure
