More Insights
Built in 1900 (125 years old).
Condition: Built in 1900, this Victorian duplex retains much of its original character, which translates to very dated interior conditions. The kitchen features extremely old wooden cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and dated linoleum flooring, despite having newer stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are also very basic with old fixtures, simple pedestal sinks, and dated tile/linoleum. Throughout the units, the flooring consists of worn carpet and dated vinyl/linoleum, and light fixtures are basic and old. While the exterior appears maintained, the interior requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet contemporary living standards. Major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original or very old, necessitating significant investment.
