More Insights
Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: The property is move-in ready with recent cosmetic updates, including fresh interior/exterior paint, updated landscaping, and a newly installed modern kitchen range. The kitchen and bathroom feature contemporary finishes, cabinets, and fixtures, appearing updated within the last 5-15 years. While the home was built in 1936 and likely retains older major systems (e.g., heating, electrical, plumbing) as noted in the weaknesses, its current presentation and recent cosmetic renovations make it highly functional and aesthetically pleasing, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties with updated components but not a full system overhaul.
