More Insights
Built in 1927 (99 years old).
Condition: Built in 1927, this property exhibits a blend of original charm and dated renovations. The description mentions 'tile countertops' in the kitchen, which, along with the visible bathroom (fiberglass tub/shower, basic vanity, wood-look vinyl flooring), suggests updates that are now 15-30 years old rather than recent. The carpet in one room appears worn, and walls show scuffing. While the water heater looks newer, the overall infrastructure (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) is likely original or very old, as indicated by the property analysis. The home is functional and appears maintained, but requires minor cosmetic updates and potential system upgrades to meet current standards.
