Condition: Built in 1962, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'remodel opportunity.' The images confirm its poor condition, showing gutted bathrooms, unfinished flooring (plywood subfloor), and an incomplete fireplace. While some walls are painted and mini-split AC units are present, the property is not habitable and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to all major components, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring, to be move-in ready.
