More Insights

Built in 1935 (90 years old).
Condition: Built in 1935, this property is well-maintained but shows its age. The kitchen appears to have been updated with premium stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry, and light countertops, giving it a bright and inviting feel. However, the bathrooms, while functional and clean, exhibit an older style of tiling and fixtures, suggesting they haven't been recently renovated to modern standards. The listing description itself notes an 'appetite to do a quick refresh' and the property analysis highlights 'Requires Significant Refresh/Renovation' and 'Age of Main Residence' as weaknesses. While livable, the home would benefit from further updates to align with contemporary tastes and standards, placing it in the 'Fair' category.
