More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property exhibits significant aging, particularly in the kitchen. The kitchen features very dated white cabinetry, laminate countertops, older white appliances (refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher), and linoleum flooring, all of which are far from modern standards and would require a complete overhaul. While the description mentions 'timeless mid-century charm' and the ability to 'move right in,' it also suggests the need to 'reimagine the space into a modern luxury retreat,' indicating substantial rehabilitation is required for key areas like the kitchen and likely the single bathroom (not pictured but implied to be similar given the kitchen's condition and age). The overall condition of these critical areas, combined with the property's age, suggests that major system updates (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are either due or imminent, aligning with the 'Poor' category's requirement for substantial repairs and rehabilitation, even if the structure is currently livable.
