Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: The property description explicitly states the 'house takedown to the studs, offering a blank canvas for your dream home or a custom rebuild.' The images confirm this, showing an interior stripped to the bare framing with no finished walls, flooring, or functional kitchen. While some partial bathroom work is visible, the house is unlivable in its current condition and requires a complete build-out, making its value primarily based on the land and redevelopment potential.
