Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1932 (>50 years old) with no evidence of renovation. The interior is unlivable, featuring graffiti, missing fixtures, and significant debris. The listing's 'Cash or Hard Money Only' requirement and emphasis on the adjacent lot for development indicate the value is primarily in the land.
The sale includes both a 2-bedroom residence and an adjacent ~8,000 sqft lot, providing exceptional value and versatility for the price point.
The large secondary lot offers significant opportunities for future development, such as building an additional unit or expanding the existing footprint.
As a renovation-ready property, it presents a prime opportunity for investors or owner-occupants to build equity through modernization and repairs.
The requirement for cash or hard money financing limits the buyer pool by excluding those relying on traditional mortgage products.
The home requires comprehensive renovation, necessitating a substantial upfront capital investment beyond the purchase price to make it move-in ready.
No exterior & parking available.
