Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1923 and marketed as an opportunity to 'reimagine' and 'redesign,' the property is dated despite having functional elements like refinished hardwood floors and a previously renovated marble bathroom. The age of the structure and the explicit marketing as a project suggest that while livable, it requires significant cosmetic updates and likely system overhauls to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13607, living area = 2266.
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Delevan Drive Elementary School (9/10).
- Expansive Lot and Outdoor Amenities
The property sits on a rare 13,603 SF lot featuring a private, terraced backyard with a gazebo and firepit, offering exceptional space for entertainment and seclusion in a dense urban market.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
- Extensive Renovation Required
Marketed as a property 'waiting to be reimagined,' the home likely requires a substantial capital investment to modernize the interior finishes and address deferred maintenance.
- Vintage Infrastructure
Given its 1923 construction date, buyers should anticipate the need for costly updates to aging systems such as plumbing, electrical, and HVAC to meet contemporary standards.
