Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Built in 1925, this property is explicitly described as 'a fixer' with 'great potential,' indicating a need for substantial work. The images confirm this, showing an extremely outdated kitchen with old cabinets, sink, and appliances, and a bathroom with very old tiles, fixtures, and visible wear.

While the structure appears intact, the interior components are severely dated and require extensive rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
