More Insights
Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: Built in 1964, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'true fixer-upper' and 'offered as-is,' requiring extensive renovation. Images reveal exposed subfloors, exposed wall studs, and very dated components throughout. The kitchen features original-style oak cabinets, tile countertops, and older appliances, while one bathroom has original pink fixtures, indicating no significant updates in decades. Although the description mentions 'great bones,' the interior condition is far from livable without substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
