Built in 1926 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1926, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated features. The kitchen has warm wood flooring and Corian countertops, with a newer refrigerator but older built-in double ovens and traditional wood cabinets, suggesting updates from 15-30 years ago. The bathroom is notably dated with a turquoise bathtub, matching toilet seat cover, and glass block shower partition, indicating a much older style. Carpets in living areas also appear aged. While functional and clean, the property requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
