    TENANT MAY NOT BE OUT TILL MAY 5th, So you will have to watch my remarks... Sorry.Small home just 3 blocks from Wheaton Mall and Costco.. Home has been rented since 1969 and most likely a tear down, as the area is in high demand. It is a .20 lot, so many of these homes are being removed and had new homes constructed on the lot. The home next door was razed and sold for $825,000 in February
