More Insights
Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this property is significantly outdated. While a 'newer roof' is a positive, the interior, particularly the visible bathroom (dated vanity, tiled countertop, old fixtures), and the absence of any kitchen images (strongly suggesting it's in original or very poor condition), indicate a need for substantial rehabilitation. The flooring is a mix of worn hardwood and very dated linoleum. Light fixtures are basic or old-fashioned. The listing description itself highlights the need for 'renovation' and 'update' and mentions 'AI-generated virtual staging,' further confirming the property's current dated state and the significant investment required to modernize it.

Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-11-17. The sold price is $1,000,000.00.
Age and Implied Need for Renovation: Built in 1961, the property likely requires significant interior updates and modernization to align with contemporary tastes and maximize its value, as suggested by the description's emphasis on 'renovation' and 'update.'
Virtual Staging Suggests Current Condition: The use of 'AI-generated virtual staging' implies that the current interior aesthetics may be dated or less appealing, potentially requiring buyers to envision its potential rather than being impressed by its present state.
Potential for High Renovation Costs: While offering significant expansion potential, realizing this potential or fully modernizing the existing structure will likely involve substantial financial investment and time, which could be a barrier for some buyers.
