More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property is explicitly marketed as needing a 'total rehab' and is a 'contractor dream or fixer-upper lover’s chance.' The images confirm this, showing a significantly outdated kitchen with older wood cabinets, busy granite countertops, and dated appliances. The bathrooms also feature older fixtures and styles (e.g., pedestal sink, dated vanity light). While the hardwood floors are present, they show considerable wear. The overall condition suggests major systems and aesthetics are well past their prime, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
