Built in 1935, this property is nearly 90 years old. The listing description explicitly mentions 'Advanced Age of Structure' and the need for 'significant modernization' and 'investment in renovations or upgrades.' While described as a 'solid home,' the lack of any indicated major renovations in recent decades, combined with its age, suggests that major systems, kitchen, and bathrooms are likely outdated and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet contemporary standards. The exterior image shows an older structure with security bars and a non-central AC unit, reinforcing the need for significant updates.
