More Insights

Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property is explicitly described as needing 'TLC' and is offered 'as-is,' indicating substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required. The images confirm that the kitchen and bathrooms are severely outdated, featuring older wood cabinetry, laminate/old tile countertops, and dated appliances and fixtures, suggesting they were last renovated 30-50+ years ago, if at all. While the home appears structurally sound from the exterior, the age of the property combined with the condition of these critical interior spaces and the 'as-is' sale implies that major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely at the end of their lifespan and would require significant rehabilitation or replacement to meet modern standards and comfort.
