More Insights
Built in 1939 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1939, this property shows signs of regular maintenance and some cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops. However, the cabinet style appears older, and the overall renovation does not seem extensive enough to fully modernize the entire home, especially given the age of the original structure. The laundry area is basic, and the absence of bathroom images prevents a complete assessment of those key areas. While move-in ready, it likely has underlying older systems and would benefit from further updates to meet contemporary standards.
