More Insights
This property has been on the market for 135 days.
Built in 1935 (90 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1935, benefits from reported structural upgrades to the roof, electrical, and plumbing systems, suggesting good maintenance of core components. However, the interior finishes, especially in the kitchens and bathrooms, are significantly outdated. Kitchens feature older wood cabinetry, tile countertops, and basic appliances, while bathrooms have simple vanities and fixtures. Flooring is a mix of laminate and linoleum, and light fixtures are basic. A visible window AC unit indicates a lack of modern central cooling. The property is functional and appears well-maintained but requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards and styles, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
