This property has been on the market for 106 days.
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property is explicitly described as having a 'vintage kitchen' and being 'ready for modern updates,' indicating a need for extensive renovation. The images confirm this with very dated white appliances, old fluorescent lighting, and original-style cabinetry in the kitchen. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms are worn and appear stained, and wallpaper is severely outdated. While some flooring appears to be a newer laminate, the overall condition, particularly in critical areas like the kitchen and likely bathrooms (though not pictured), suggests substantial rehabilitation is required to meet current quality and comfort standards. The property analysis also notes 'Aging Infrastructure' and 'Extensive Renovation Required,' aligning with a 'Poor' condition score.
