More Insights
Built in 1962 (63 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1962, making it 62 years old. The listing explicitly highlights 'Potential for Outdated Infrastructure,' suggesting original plumbing, electrical, and roofing systems that would require costly upgrades or repairs. Without interior images, it's impossible to assess the kitchen and bathrooms directly, but given the age and the stated weaknesses, it's highly probable these areas are severely outdated and in need of substantial renovation. The exterior image also indicates a lack of recent aesthetic updates. This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, which describes properties requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation due to major components needing repair or replacement.
