More Insights
Built in 1950 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1950, this property shows significant age and requires substantial rehabilitation. While the kitchen features granite countertops, the dark wood cabinets and white appliances are dated, and the overall style is far from modern. Both bathrooms are extremely outdated with basic white tile, old vanities, and fixtures, necessitating a complete remodel. Hardwood floors are present but appear worn. The presence of central A/C in the main property is a plus, but a window unit in the bonus room indicates an older, mixed system. Furthermore, the description notes an approximately 400 sq ft unpermitted addition, which is a significant defect affecting the property's legal soundness and potential for future renovation or resale. The property is livable but requires extensive cosmetic and functional updates to meet current standards, going beyond minor repairs.
