More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1922, making it over 100 years old. While the interior appears functional, the kitchens are significantly outdated with older appliances (white refrigerator, tiled countertops, dated cabinets in one; black refrigerator, older stainless range/microwave, and dark cabinets in the other). The flooring includes older tiles and some hardwood/laminate that appears worn in places. The exterior shows signs of deferred maintenance, including faded paint and neglected landscaping. The overall condition suggests that while the home has been maintained, major renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, were likely done 20-30+ years ago, requiring substantial updates to meet current standards and buyer expectations.
