More Insights
Built in 1921 (104 years old).
Condition: Built in 1921, this property is over a century old, and the images clearly indicate a severe lack of modern updates. Both kitchens and bathrooms are extremely dated, featuring old dark wood cabinets, worn laminate countertops, older white appliances, and very old tile/linoleum flooring. The overall condition suggests renovations, if any, were done 30-50+ years ago. While functional, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, particularly for the outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and cosmetic elements, making it uncomfortable and in need of significant investment to meet current living standards.
