More Insights
Built in 1909 (116 years old).
Condition: Built in 1909, this property is over a century old. While the front unit has received recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint, new laminate flooring, and updated basic kitchen cabinets/counters and bathroom vanity, the kitchen still features outdated appliances. The rear unit is significantly older and less updated, with very dated kitchen and bathroom fixtures and finishes. The laundry area is inconveniently located in an exterior shed. Given the age of the property and the lack of information regarding major system updates (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roof), it is highly probable that substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required to address underlying issues and bring the property to modern standards, affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity.
