Built in 1929 (96 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1929 and explicitly described as a 'fixer,' requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen features very dated dark cabinets, older countertops, and appears to be missing upper cabinets in sections, with no visible modern appliances. One bathroom is extremely outdated with tiled countertops, while the other has a basic, but slightly more modern, vanity. Flooring consists of worn carpet and older tile. A visible ceiling patch indicates past issues, and the exterior stairs appear worn. Given its age and current condition, major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are likely outdated and require significant investment, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
