I have a house that I need to rent out but it's old and completely run-down.  

The house will be demolished in a year or two when the owner is ready to develop the land.

What buzz words or phrases can I use that describe something old/bad/derelict but in a positive light? I don't want to lie but I don't want to advertise it as a s#!t hole either, haha.

Things like "A house with character"
