TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1923 bungalow is well-maintained but significantly dated, featuring popcorn ceilings, older bathroom tile/fixtures, and window AC units suggesting a lack of modern central HVAC. Having been held for 29 years without major recent renovations, the kitchen, baths, and systems are likely over 20 years old and require modernization.
