More Insights
Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1949, shows signs of regular maintenance and some updates in the visible living areas and bedrooms (e.g., hardwood floors, clean carpet, modern ceiling fans, fresh paint, skylights). However, the absence of kitchen and bathroom images, combined with the property's age and the listing's emphasis on 'potential' and 'enhancing value,' strongly suggests these critical areas are likely outdated or require significant renovation. Elements like the stone fireplace and glass block windows, while functional, also point to a renovation style that is not recent. Thus, while some parts are move-in ready, the property likely requires minor to moderate updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to align with current standards.
