More Insights

Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this property has received recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new LVP flooring in main living areas and some bedrooms, making it move-in ready. One bathroom is fully renovated with modern fixtures and tile. However, the galley-style kitchen features older, traditional wood cabinets despite updated stainless steel appliances, countertops, and backsplash. Two of the three bathrooms are significantly dated in style, fixtures, and flooring. While functional and maintained, the mix of modern updates and clearly outdated elements in key areas like the kitchen and most bathrooms suggests it requires further updates to meet contemporary tastes, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
