Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
The property was built in 1925, making it nearly 100 years old. The MLS description explicitly states that the existing structure, 'given the development focus, likely requires demolition,' indicating its value is primarily in the land for redevelopment. This aligns perfectly with the 'tear-down' criteria, as the structure is considered beyond repair for the intended use, and its condition is not a selling point.
