More Insights
Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property features a highly outdated kitchen with original-looking cabinetry and older appliances, requiring substantial rehabilitation. While the interiors are freshly painted and hardwood floors are well-maintained, the overall age of the home and the condition of the kitchen, combined with dated light fixtures and unknown status of major systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing), indicate that significant updates and repairs are needed beyond minor cosmetic changes.
