More Insights

Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: Built in 1922, this property features a highly dated kitchen with appliances likely 30-50+ years old (e.g., 'Customaire Electric' double oven) and a significantly outdated bathroom with 70s/80s-era tiles, vanity, and fixtures. While some flooring has been updated to laminate/vinyl, and hardwood floors are present, the core functional areas require substantial rehabilitation and modernization. The property analysis also notes the 'Historic Property Age' and 'potential for outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC),' indicating major components are likely beyond their expected lifespan and would require extensive replacement to meet current standards.
