More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property requires substantial updates to meet modern standards. While the home is clean and features solid hardwood floors, the kitchen has very dated tile countertops and checkered flooring, despite updated appliances. The most significant functional weakness is having only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which would necessitate a major renovation. The overall aesthetic, including the mirrored dining wall and basic light fixtures, is outdated, indicating a need for substantial rehabilitation beyond cosmetic fixes, aligning with the property's value being primarily in its large lot and redevelopment potential.
