Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1963, this property is over 60 years old and shows significant signs of age and neglect. The kitchen is severely outdated, incomplete, and appears non-functional, requiring a full renovation. Bathrooms are also very dated with old fixtures and tiles. Flooring consists of old linoleum/vinyl and stained carpets. The description explicitly states the property is 'priced to accommodate the upgrades necessary' and suggests a 203k loan, confirming it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be livable and meet modern standards. While the structure doesn't appear to be a tear-down, major components are in poor condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Potential: The property is explicitly marketed as a great investment opportunity, appealing to buyers looking for potential returns through renovation and appreciation.
Significant Price Reduction: A substantial price drop from the original list price of $296,000 to $245,000 makes the property more competitive and attractive to value-seeking buyers.
Renovation Financing Option: The mention of eligibility for a 203k loan provides a clear pathway for buyers to finance necessary upgrades and customize the home to their preferences.
Desirable Amenities: The home includes a cozy fireplace, a convenient indoor laundry room between the kitchen and garage, and a private front yard space, enhancing its livability.
City Lights View: The property offers an attractive 'City Lights' view, adding a desirable aesthetic and potential value to the living experience.
Cons
Substantial Over-list vs. Estimated Value: The current listing price of $245,000 is 28% higher than the estimated property value of $175,376.93, indicating potential overpricing or a challenging market valuation.
Requires Significant Upgrades: The property is 'priced to accommodate the upgrades necessary' and the suggestion of a 203k loan implies it needs substantial renovation, which could deter some buyers seeking a move-in ready home.
Age of Property: Built in 1963, the home is over 60 years old, suggesting potential for outdated systems, infrastructure, or aesthetic elements that may require significant investment to modernize.
