This property has been on the market for 45 days.
Built in 1930 (95 years old).
Condition: Built in 1930, this property features a severely outdated kitchen with old dark wood cabinets, basic appliances, and dated countertops, requiring a full renovation. The bathrooms are equally outdated, showcasing multi-colored tiled showers (likely from the 70s or 80s), old vanities, and worn flooring, also necessitating substantial rehabilitation. While some areas have shiny hardwood floors and solar panels are a modern addition, the critical functional spaces are far from modern comfort and would be uncomfortable for contemporary living without significant investment.
