More Insights
Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1950, the property's main house shows significant signs of age and a lack of recent major renovations. The kitchen features very dated cabinets, stainless steel countertops, older appliances (commercial-style range, older refrigerator), and basic tile flooring/backsplash, all requiring a full modernization. The bathrooms also present outdated fixtures, tiling, and overall style. The presence of a portable AC unit suggests a lack of central air conditioning, which is a major system deficiency. While the hardwood floors in bedrooms appear functional, and the exterior is maintained, the critical areas of kitchen, bathrooms, and HVAC would require substantial rehabilitation and investment to meet current quality and comfort standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
