More Insights
Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this property is clearly aged. The MLS description explicitly states it needs 'a little TLC to be brought back to its glory days' and highlights 'Dated Construction' as a weakness. The kitchen, as seen in the images, features older wood cabinets, dated tile countertops, a tile backsplash with a blue accent, and an older commercial-style range, indicating it has not been significantly renovated in decades. While a stainless steel refrigerator is present, it's a minor update in an otherwise very dated space. No bathroom images are provided, but given the kitchen's condition and the property's age, it's highly probable they are also outdated. Other elements like the light fixtures in the living area and the general aesthetic also show signs of age. The property appears functional and maintained, but requires substantial cosmetic and likely system updates to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
