More Insights
Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1953, making it 71 years old. While the exterior appears maintained, the listing explicitly states a weakness: 'Property Age & Potential Updates,' noting it 'may require significant updates to systems and aesthetics to meet modern buyer expectations.' The absence of any interior photos, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms, strongly suggests these areas are significantly outdated and likely require substantial renovation. Given the age and the need for 'significant updates to systems,' the property likely requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current standards, aligning with a 'poor' condition score.
