More Insights
Built in 1927 (99 years old).
Condition: Built in 1927, this property features extremely dated kitchens and bathrooms in both the main house and the detached unit. The main house's kitchen has old cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances, while the bathrooms feature very dated fixtures, vanities, and tile/linoleum. The detached unit's kitchen and bathrooms are also very basic and show significant wear, with one bathroom appearing to be in particularly poor condition with worn flooring. While the main house retains some original charm like hardwood floors and built-ins, the critical areas of the home require substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
