More Insights
Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1924, this property shows signs of regular upkeep and cosmetic updates (fresh paint, some flooring) but retains many original or older components. The kitchen features dated white appliances (except for a newer dishwasher), older white cabinets, laminate countertops, and vinyl flooring. The bathroom is similarly basic with a standard tub/shower combo, a simple vanity, and vinyl flooring. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout, and cooling is via a window AC unit, indicating a lack of modern central HVAC. While clean and functional, the kitchen and bathroom styles and features are significantly outdated, requiring substantial renovation to meet current standards. The property is livable but clearly falls into the 'aged but maintained' category, with major components showing signs of being outdated rather than being extensively renovated within the last 15 years.
