More Insights
Built in 1930 (95 years old).
Condition: While the exterior appears to have been updated with a modern aesthetic, the interior, particularly the kitchens and bathrooms, are significantly dated. The kitchens feature white appliances, light wood cabinets, and laminate countertops, consistent with a renovation from 15-30 years ago. Bathrooms exhibit similar outdated styles with light vanities, Hollywood strip lighting, and brass/gold-toned shower enclosures. The property is well-maintained and functional, but these key areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer expectations and modern design standards.

Cons
Historic Property Age: Built in 1930, the property's age may necessitate ongoing maintenance, potential updates to older systems (plumbing, electrical), and could present challenges with insurance or financing compared to newer constructions.
Property Type Discrepancy: The listing identifies the sub-type as 'Single Family Residence' while the description clearly states 'Oceanfront duplex,' which could lead to zoning, financing, or legal complications if not accurately resolved.
Listing Data Inconsistencies: The 'MLS Area: Not Defined' and future-dated 'on_market_date' and 'modified_timestamp' suggest potential data entry errors or incomplete listing information, which could hinder market visibility or buyer confidence.
