56 Lostwood Road presents an opportunity to purchase an attached property in a poor state of repair and warranting complete renovation and updating to create a family home. Given that the property is constructed as a “Cornish Unit” and the current condition of the property, it is considered that 56 Lostwood Road is unmortgageable.
