More Insights
Built in 1923 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1923, this property is over 100 years old and shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance. The 'cozy wood paneled kitchen' and visible elements like worn, dated carpeting, old light fixtures, a wall heater, and a window AC unit indicate that major systems and aesthetics are severely outdated. While the bathroom is not pictured, it is highly probable it is in a similar condition. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, particularly for major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) and a complete cosmetic overhaul, to meet modern living standards.
