More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1949, is explicitly described as a 'fixer duplex' in 'fixer condition' requiring 'significant upside for renovation and repositioning.' Images confirm this, showing severely outdated kitchens with old cabinets, tile countertops, and visible grime, as well as very basic and worn bathrooms. The exterior exhibits peeling paint and a broken window, indicating substantial deferred maintenance. This aligns with the 'poor' criteria of requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation, with major components likely needing replacement due to age and lack of recent renovation.
