More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this property is significantly outdated and requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features worn laminate countertops, an older range, basic cabinets, and exposed brick, along with laundry machines in the kitchen area, indicating a lack of modern updates. Both bathrooms are very dated with old tile, fixtures, and shower enclosures, needing complete renovation. Carpets are worn, and light fixtures are old. While the structure appears sound, the overall condition, particularly in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, suggests the property is uncomfortable by modern standards and needs extensive modernization to be move-in ready.
