Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property was built in 1943, making the structures over 80 years old. The MLS description and property analysis explicitly state that the 'existing five units are old, likely requiring significant capital expenditure for renovation or demolition' and are 'underutilized,' suggesting a need for substantial investment. While the property generates rental income, implying it's not entirely unlivable, the exterior images show dated structures with visible window AC units, and there are no interior photos to suggest any recent updates to kitchens or bathrooms. This indicates the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
The property is explicitly described as an 'underutilized residential parcel' with 'limited availability of large development parcels in the area,' indicating high demand and substantial redevelopment opportunities.
A substantial 39,688 square foot lot provides ample space for significant new construction or expansion, a rare find in this urbanized region.
Five residential units are currently generating income, offering immediate cash flow to offset holding costs during any potential entitlement and development period.
