More Insights
Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While some areas like the bathroom vanity and flooring appear to have received minor updates, the kitchen is very dated with old appliances and missing cabinet doors. Crucially, several images (13, 14, 17, 18) show exposed framing, missing drywall, and signs of partial demolition or unfinished work, indicating significant defects and a need for extensive system replacements and structural rehabilitation. The property is not move-in ready and would be uncomfortable to live in its current state.
