More Insights

Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: Built in 1936 and on the market for the first time in over 60 years, this property explicitly states it requires 'substantial personalization and updates' and has 'potential for outdated systems.' The images confirm this: the kitchen features extremely dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and old white appliances. Both bathrooms are severely outdated with old tile, vanities, and fixtures. While the home has 'great bones' and is livable, it requires extensive renovation and rehabilitation of major components to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
