More Insights
Built in 1939 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1939, this property is 85 years old with no mention of significant renovations. The MLS listing explicitly notes 'Property Age & Condition' as a weakness, indicating 'outdated systems and the need for significant renovations or upgrades.' The absence of interior photos, especially for the kitchen and the single bathroom (for 4 bedrooms), strongly suggests these critical areas are severely outdated and likely in poor condition, requiring substantial rehabilitation. Major systems are likely at or beyond their expected lifespan, necessitating significant repairs and updates.
