More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property shows significant age and requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen is extremely dated with tiled countertops, old electric coil appliances, and worn wooden cabinets, necessitating a complete overhaul. While the bathroom vanity appears to be a more recent, albeit basic, update, the overall condition of the unit, particularly the kitchen, aligns with needing extensive renovation to meet modern standards. The listing description itself implies a need for customization, reinforcing that it is not move-in ready without significant investment.
