More Insights
Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1961, making it over 60 years old. The listing explicitly states it's a 'vast canvas for the creation of an unparalleled estate' and that the existing 7,500 sq ft home 'may require extensive renovation or demolition' to align with this vision. While the few interior photos show a well-maintained, clean space, the style (e.g., traditional chandeliers, ornate fireplace surrounds, classic furniture) is significantly dated and does not reflect modern luxury standards. Crucially, no images of the kitchen or bathrooms are provided, which are key indicators of condition and style. The property's value is clearly being marketed based on the land and its redevelopment potential, not the existing structure, aligning with the 'tear-down' criteria where the value is based solely on the land.
