Built in 1922, this property features highly outdated kitchens with old cabinets, worn laminate countertops, and basic older appliances. Bathrooms are also very basic and dated.

It is maintained but requires substantial updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and potentially major systems to meet contemporary standards.
The property features two separate units (1 bed/1 bath and 2 bed/1 bath) on one lot, offering excellent potential for rental income or owner-occupancy with supplemental rental.
