More Insights
Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this duplex has received updates, but they appear to be functional rather than recent, comprehensive renovations. The kitchen, while featuring a stainless steel sink and updated appliances, displays painted white cabinetry, laminate countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and a ceiling fan light fixture that are stylistically dated, likely from a renovation 15-30 years ago. The presence of a window AC unit in the kitchen suggests a lack of central cooling, indicating older or less modern systems. While the property is maintained and move-in ready, key areas like the kitchen and potentially the bathrooms show signs of being outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current quality standards.
