Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1921, this property is over 100 years old and shows no evidence of major renovations in the past 50 years. The MLS description explicitly states it 'is in need of TLC and remodeling' and is an 'ideal value-add investment,' implying extensive work is required. The images confirm this: both kitchens feature extremely outdated cabinets, worn countertops, old appliances, and dirty flooring, requiring complete replacement. The bathrooms are equally dilapidated, with one showing a boarded-up window, indicating significant defects. The overall condition, including old flooring and lack of central HVAC (window AC units visible), suggests the property is unlivable in its current state and its value is primarily in the land for redevelopment, aligning with a 'tear-down' assessment.
