More Insights
Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, the property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' with 'original 1950s construction' and 'ready for updating.' While the kitchen has received a budget-friendly update with newer white cabinets, mosaic backsplash, and a stainless steel range, the rest of the home, particularly the bathroom, is in very poor condition. The bathroom features a basic, worn vanity and a stained/dated shower stall, indicating a need for complete renovation. General living areas show worn carpets, dated paint, and older light fixtures. The property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including likely updates to major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and extensive cosmetic work throughout, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
