More Insights

Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: Built in 1940, this property exhibits a 'rustic country charm' that, while well-maintained, is largely outdated. The kitchen features white shaker-style cabinets but is equipped with dated white appliances and older-style countertops, alongside very dated floral wallpaper. Bathrooms show a mix of some newer elements like glass shower enclosures, but also very dated fixtures, tile work, and wallpaper, including a distinctly brown tub. While functional and livable, the home requires significant cosmetic updates and modernization to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the description's suggestion to 'remodel or build new'.
