TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, this 50+ year old property is dated and features significant unpermitted work, including three bedrooms and a bathroom conversion. While it includes modern upgrades like paid solar and newer vinyl plank flooring, the overall aesthetic, exposed utility lighting, and dated bathroom fixtures indicate a need for minor repairs and modernization to meet current market standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

With three unpermitted bedrooms and an unpermitted bathroom conversion, buyers may face challenges with appraisal valuations, financing options, and potential future code compliance requirements.
