More Insights

Built in 1948 (78 years old).

Condition: Built in 1948 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' with 'original details,' this property requires substantial renovation to meet modern standards. While it features some 'updated stainless steel appliances' in the kitchen, the presence of a 'vintage in-counter blender' confirms its aged condition. The description emphasizes 'restoration' and 'reinterpretation,' indicating it's a project home that is aged but maintained, with functional but outdated major components, fitting the 'Fair' category rather than 'Poor' as it doesn't explicitly state significant defects affecting safety or structural integrity.
