More Insights

Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this property explicitly requires 'TLC and vision' and 'extensive modernization' according to the listing description and analysis. The images confirm this, showcasing highly outdated kitchens and bathrooms with original or very old (30-50+ years) pink and blue tiled countertops, dated cabinetry, and worn flooring. Other areas feature old wood paneling, worn carpets, and older light fixtures. While the structure is noted as solid, the interior finishes and major systems are clearly aging and necessitate substantial renovation and rehabilitation to meet current standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
