More Insights
Built in 1929 (96 years old).
Condition: Built in 1929 and on the market for the first time in over 50 years, this property explicitly states it needs to be 'restored to your own taste,' indicating a major renovation is required. The kitchen features extremely outdated appliances and finishes, while the bathroom showcases vintage yellow tiles and fixtures, both requiring complete overhauls. While the exterior and living room show some original charm, the critical systems and key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms are well past their functional and aesthetic lifespan, necessitating substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
