More Insights

Built in 1937 (89 years old).
Condition: Built in 1937, this property has 'great bones' and central air and heat, indicating some level of maintenance. However, the kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring, all requiring a full renovation. The bathroom is similarly outdated with 4x4 white tiles, an older vanity, and fixtures. Throughout the home, there's a mix of worn carpet, dated linoleum, and some hardwood, along with popcorn ceilings and wood paneling. While functional, the property clearly requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet current standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and need significant modernization.
