More Insights
Built in 1969 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, this property is explicitly marketed as needing an 'extensive renovation' and 'make-over,' requiring significant 'sweat equity' to transform it into a 'personal gem.' While the listing mentions 'Great Bones,' implying structural soundness, the interior is severely outdated. The bathroom (Image 5) is a prime example, featuring a very dated green color scheme, old vanity, and fixtures, indicating a full remodel is necessary. Other visible elements like popcorn ceilings and older flooring also point to a property that has not seen significant updates in decades. This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, requiring substantial rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, even if the core structure is sound.
