Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, the property is over 75 years old and retains its 'original character,' with the listing explicitly noting an opportunity for the new owner to update and personalize the interiors. While the exterior appears well-maintained and the units are occupied, the lack of recent renovation history suggests dated kitchens, bathrooms, and systems that require modernization.
