More Insights

Built in 2025 (0 years old).
Condition: The MLS listing explicitly states that 'The existing 1954 structure is a full teardown' and that the property is 'being sold for land value only.' This directly aligns with the definition of a 'tear-down' property, where the structure is beyond repair and its value is based solely on the land. The images of the modern home, kitchen, and living room are renderings of a proposed new construction, not the current condition of the property.
