More Insights
Built in 1940 (85 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1940, has received recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, new windows, and updated landscaping, making it move-in ready. The hardwood floors throughout the main living areas are in good condition. However, the kitchen features older white appliances and traditional wood cabinets, which are functional but dated. The main bathroom, while clean, has tile and a light fixture that appear to be from an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago), not a recent modern update. The heating system appears to be an older wall heater. While well-maintained, the kitchen and bathroom styles, along with some systems, show signs of being outdated, indicating that these areas would likely require minor updates for a contemporary aesthetic.
