Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1930, this property is significantly dated. While the 'old charm' is well-preserved, the bathrooms feature 1980s-style oak vanities and older tile work, indicating no major renovations in over 30 years. The home appears functional and move-in ready but requires comprehensive cosmetic updates and likely system overhauls to meet modern standards.
