About this home

First time on the market in nearly 40 years! This property features a lot of potential with its large 1/3 of an acre lot located on a wide but low traffic street. The house is set back on the lot with plenty of room for another house in front or behind the existing home. Because this home is a fixer, it might not qualify for financing and might require all cash. This property is located in R1-B zoning which generally allows for two units but does not allow for horses.

Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1950, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer' that may not qualify for traditional financing, indicating substantial repairs are needed. The images confirm this, showing a severely outdated and neglected interior. The kitchen is in very poor condition with old, damaged cabinets, no visible modern appliances, and worn flooring, requiring a complete renovation. Other interior spaces feature dirty walls, old carpets, and outdated fixtures. The exterior shows peeling paint, an unkempt yard, and general disrepair, suggesting significant deferred maintenance across all major systems.

Rare Market Opportunity: Being on the market for the first time in nearly 40 years indicates a unique opportunity to acquire a long-held property with significant potential.

Financing Challenges: Due to its condition, the property 'might not qualify for financing and might require all cash,' significantly limiting the pool of potential buyers.
