More Insights

Built in 1913 (113 years old).
Condition: This 1913 bungalow is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' requiring substantial renovation and modern updates. The kitchen features very dated white laminate countertops, older white appliances, and basic cabinetry. The bathroom is also significantly outdated with 1950s-70s style tiling, a basic vanity, and older fixtures. While the hardwood floors appear to be in fair condition, the overall property, including likely original or older plumbing, electrical, and lack of central HVAC (indicated by window AC units), necessitates major rehabilitation to meet current living standards. It is functional but shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance.
