Built in 1950 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1950, this property is significantly outdated. The kitchen features original or very old cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances, requiring a full renovation. The living areas and bedrooms have worn, dated carpeting and basic light fixtures. The presence of a wall-mounted gas furnace indicates a lack of central HVAC, a major system deficiency. While the structure appears sound, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization of its major systems and aesthetics to meet contemporary standards.
