More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1955, is 69 years old. The listing description explicitly emphasizes the 'expansive flag lot' and the opportunity to 'build your custom dream estate' or 'start new with a blank canvas,' strongly indicating that the value is in the land for redevelopment. The property analysis also notes the existing home 'likely requires significant renovation or demolition.' The images reveal a very dated exterior with old siding, windows, and light fixtures, an aged roof, and a neglected pool. Without any interior photos or mention of recent updates, and given the strong focus on the land's potential, the existing structure appears to be at the end of its useful life, making it a tear-down where the land is the primary asset.
