More Insights

Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1990, is explicitly listed in 'As-Is condition' and the description mentions '2 Contractor Estimates for complete renovation,' indicating substantial work is needed. The kitchen features very dated tile countertops, old cabinets with visible wear, and an outdated fluorescent light fixture. The primary bathroom also shows significant age with gold-colored fixtures, tile countertops, and a dated built-in tub and shower enclosure. While the living areas and some bedrooms appear clean, the critical and most expensive-to-renovate areas (kitchen and bathrooms) require extensive system replacements and rehabilitation to meet current standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
