Built in 1939 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1939, this property retains much of its original charm and appears well-maintained structurally, with classic hardwood parquet flooring in good condition. However, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and terracotta-style tile flooring, while the bathroom exhibits very outdated pink tile. While appliances in the kitchen appear to have been updated, the overall aesthetic and materials in both the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly behind current standards, requiring substantial renovation to modernize. The property is functional and livable but shows clear signs of being aged and outdated in key areas, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
