More Insights

Built in 1906 (120 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1906, has received some recent updates such as new laminate flooring and stainless steel kitchen appliances, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen cabinets and countertops are significantly dated, and the single bathroom features very outdated fixtures, including a gold-framed shower door and a pedestal sink. The living and dining areas retain original wood paneling and popcorn ceilings, along with dated light fixtures, which would likely require aesthetic updates for most buyers. While functional and maintained, the overall style and condition of key areas like the kitchen and bathroom show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of requiring minor updates and showing signs of being aged but maintained.
