More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Despite an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a modern backsplash, the property is explicitly described as a 'fixer-upper.' The bathrooms are very dated with old tile, fixtures, and finishes, likely from a renovation 30-40 years ago. Carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms are old and worn, and the heating system consists of outdated wall heaters. The overall condition requires substantial rehabilitation and modernization beyond the kitchen.
