More Insights

Built in 1945 (81 years old).
Condition: Built in 1945, this property retains significant original character and dated features. Both kitchens feature tile countertops, older appliances (especially the vintage range in the front unit), and cabinet styles that are not modern. One bathroom is notably dated with original-style tile and fixtures, while the other appears to have a more recent, but basic, shower update. While the home appears well-maintained with hardwood floors in some areas, it requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet current standards, consistent with a property that hasn't undergone a major renovation in several decades. The unpermitted back unit kitchen is also a significant factor.
