More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1975, is explicitly described as 'not completely upgraded, nor completely remodeled' and needing 'cosmetic repairs, fixing, and some TLC,' indicating it is far from move-in ready. Images confirm this, showing unfinished rooms (e.g., a bathroom/laundry area with exposed plumbing and no fixtures, and a closet with unfinished flooring). There are no images of a finished kitchen or bathrooms, suggesting these critical areas require complete installation or extensive renovation. This aligns with the 'poor' condition criteria, as it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to be livable and comfortable.
