More Insights
Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1941, making it 83 years old. There are no interior images provided, and the listing explicitly states 'DRIVE BY ONLY! PLEASE DO NOT WALK THE PROPERTY, DO NOT DISTURB TENANTS.' This strongly suggests that the interior, including the kitchen and bathroom, is likely in very dated condition and requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards. While the exterior shows some signs of maintenance (e.g., newer windows, visible AC unit), the lack of interior access and renovation details for such an old property indicates a 'poor' condition, necessitating significant investment beyond minor updates.
