More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property shows signs of regular upkeep but features kitchens and bathrooms with significantly outdated styles and finishes, likely renovated 15-30 years ago. While clean and functional, the main bathroom's purple marble and glass block shower, along with the kitchen's light wood cabinets, dated tile flooring, and glass block bar, indicate a need for minor to moderate cosmetic updates to meet current buyer expectations. The property is move-in ready, but major systems may require future capital expenditures due to age, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
