More Insights
This property has been on the market for 37 days.
Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. While the main level appears functional and maintained, the kitchen features very dated fluorescent lighting, older cabinets, and a mix of appliances, indicating it has not been renovated in several decades. The main bathrooms, while clean, also show dated styles in tiling and vanities. Crucially, the listing explicitly states the downstairs level 'needs some TLC' and the images confirm it's a very utilitarian space with an extremely dated bathroom and exposed utilities, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The overall condition suggests significant investment is needed to modernize the home and bring the lower level to a livable, comfortable standard, aligning with the 'poor' category's criteria for requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
