TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1948, this 76-year-old property is significantly dated. While the listing describes it as 'inviting' and 'cozy,' the lack of mentioned updates to the kitchen, bathroom, or core systems (HVAC/Electric) suggests they are likely aged and require modernization to meet current standards.
