More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: Built in 1922, this property is aged but appears to have been maintained. The kitchen, while functional, is significantly outdated with light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, checkered linoleum flooring, and an old fluorescent light fixture, indicating a renovation likely 15-30 years ago. Original hardwood floors are present but show wear. The description explicitly mentions 'room for growth' and 'add value,' suggesting that significant cosmetic updates and potential system upgrades are needed. The unpermitted in-law unit also points to required work for compliance. While livable, the home requires substantial cosmetic renovations to meet current quality standards, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathroom (no images provided, but assumed to be similar condition).
