More Insights
Built in 1918 (108 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1918, is explicitly described as 'not habitable in its current state' and requires 'transformation' or to 'recreate'. The exterior images show a severely aged and weathered structure, consistent with a property that has not undergone major renovations in decades. The lack of interior photos further supports the assessment that the structure is unlivable and its value lies primarily in the land and its prime location for redevelopment.
