More Insights
Built in 1948 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1948, this property is significantly aged and explicitly stated to 'need some TLC' and offer 'endless potential to update.' The images reveal a very dated interior with older kitchen cabinets, basic appliances, and a functional but old bathroom with minor, piecemeal updates. The lack of central cooling (evidenced by window AC units) and presence of a wall heater indicate outdated major systems. The exterior shows significant wear and an unkempt yard. While livable, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
