Built in 1925 (101 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property is aged but appears maintained. The kitchen features dated honey oak cabinets, laminate countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago. The bathroom has beige tiled walls and a basic vanity, also appearing outdated. Red shag carpet throughout the main living areas and bedrooms further indicates a need for significant cosmetic updates and modernization, aligning with the listing's description of 'untapped potential' and requiring 'personalization'.
