More Insights
Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1924, this home shows its age through dated interior finishes. The kitchen features older wood cabinets, tile countertops, and a mix of dated white and slightly newer stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms also exhibit outdated styles with tile counters, vessel sinks, and fluorescent lighting. Flooring is a mix of worn carpet and linoleum. While functional and seemingly well-maintained, the property lacks modern updates and amenities like central HVAC, indicating renovations likely occurred 15-30 years ago. It is livable but requires significant cosmetic and system updates to meet current standards.
