More Insights
Built in 1941 (84 years old).
Condition: Built in 1941, this property is significantly dated and requires substantial renovation. The kitchen features very old dark wood cabinets, yellow laminate countertops, outdated appliances, and fluorescent lighting, indicating it hasn't been updated in 30-50+ years. The bathroom is equally dated with an old vanity, fixtures, tiling, and a beige tub. Carpets throughout the living areas and a lower-level bedroom are old and worn. While described as 'lovingly maintained,' the property explicitly states it's 'ready for thoughtful updates' and has a 'dated kitchen layout,' confirming the need for a complete overhaul to meet modern standards. The 'unwarranted' half bath also suggests potential issues requiring attention.
