More Insights
Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property is significantly aged with no apparent major renovations in recent decades. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, old countertops, and linoleum flooring, requiring a complete overhaul. The bathroom is highly outdated with specific black and green wall tiles and blue floor tiles, indicating a full renovation is necessary. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms appear old and worn. A visible ceiling stain/damage in one bedroom suggests potential water intrusion or other structural issues that need immediate attention. While not a tear-down, the property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring it to modern living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
