More Insights

Built in 1911 (115 years old).
Condition: Built in 1911, this property shows significant age and a lack of recent, extensive renovations. The residential kitchens feature very dated cabinets, old appliances, and worn flooring. Bathrooms are basic, with older fixtures and finishes, some appearing to have minor updates 20-30 years ago but still far from modern. The commercial space is extremely basic and worn. The property requires substantial rehabilitation, including likely upgrades to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) as indicated by the property analysis, to meet current standards and tenant expectations. It is functional but very uncomfortable and outdated in its current state, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
