More Insights
Built in 1922 (103 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1922, appears to have undergone a renovation approximately 15-25 years ago, giving it an 'aged but maintained' status. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older white appliances (including an electric coil range), and outdated pendant lighting, all of which require significant updating to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. Flooring consists of worn-looking light hardwood/laminate and somewhat worn carpet. While the home is functional and livable, as suggested by the 'open concept' layout, it shows clear signs of being outdated in terms of style and finishes. The description itself hints at this, calling it an 'opportunity to turn this charming home into a stunning gem,' indicating it's not a turn-key modern property. It requires minor to moderate cosmetic updates and repairs, particularly in the kitchen and likely bathrooms (though not pictured), to enhance its appeal and value.
