Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer or teardown opportunity.' Built in 1964, the home shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance; specifically, the top-floor deck surface is severely weathered and deteriorated. While the interior features high ceilings and hardwood floors, they appear worn, and the absence of kitchen or bathroom images typically indicates these areas are outdated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
