Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Tear down
TeardownExcellent
Property is land value only, full reconstruction required.
Built in 1971 (53+ years old) with no evidence of renovations. The listing explicitly markets the property as a 'tear down' or 'complete rehab' opportunity for developers, emphasizing the land value and R8 zoning for new construction rather than the existing structure's condition.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13939, living area = 972.
- Great Schools
Elementary School: Glendale Elementary School (9/10).
- High-Yield Development Potential
Zoned R8 on a deep 0.32-acre lot with alley access, this property is perfectly positioned for a two-home HPR development in a high-demand Nashville submarket.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
- Extensive Capital Requirement
The existing 1971 structure requires a complete rehab or total demolition, necessitating significant additional investment beyond the $570,000 acquisition price.
- Underperforming School District
With the exception of Glendale Elementary, the assigned middle and high schools carry low ratings (2-5), which may limit the appeal for families looking for long-term primary residences.
