More Insights

Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940 and owned by the same family for nearly 50 years, this property exhibits classic charm but is largely dated. Visible interiors feature traditional wood paneling, older light fixtures, and a general aesthetic that has not been updated to modern standards. The absence of kitchen and bathroom images strongly suggests these key areas are also outdated and would require significant renovation to meet contemporary expectations. While well-maintained, the property needs minor to moderate updates to its interior finishes and potentially major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) to align with current quality standards.
