This property has been on the market for 156 days.
Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: The property consists of three cottages built in the 1920s or 1930s, making them 90-100+ years old. The images reveal significant age and neglect, including cracked driveways, visible window/mini-split AC units, and extremely outdated outdoor utility sinks. There is no evidence of major renovations in the past 50 years. The listing explicitly markets the property as a development opportunity, indicating the value lies in the land rather than the existing structures, which are likely beyond economical repair for modern living standards.
