Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property underwent an extensive 'studs-out' renovation in the early 2000s (approx. 24 years ago), placing the interior finishes and core plumbing/electrical updates in the 'Fair' category due to age and dated aesthetics. However, the roof (<2 years) and HVAC (<6 years) are in excellent condition. The 'as-is' sale status and description as a 'project' confirm it needs cosmetic modernization despite being functional.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Location & Value
Situated in the highly coveted Hillsboro-West End neighborhood for under $1M, this property offers exceptional value and proximity to Vanderbilt University and downtown Nashville.
- Investment Flexibility
The RM20 zoning provides significant investment potential and development flexibility, allowing for various uses beyond a traditional single-family residence.
- Updated Major Systems
The home features a roof replaced within two years, a six-year-old HVAC, and updated electrical and plumbing from a previous stud-down renovation, reducing immediate capital expenditure on infrastructure.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- As-Is Condition
The property is being sold in as-is condition, necessitating a buyer with the budget and vision for a comprehensive restoration or modernization project.
- Mixed School Ratings
While the elementary school is highly rated, the assigned middle and high schools currently hold lower ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused families.
