More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, the property is aged but appears maintained. The living areas feature hardwood floors, which is a positive. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with older white cabinets, basic dark countertops, and a mix of appliances (older refrigerator, basic gas range). The heating system is an older wall heater. The bathroom has seen some updates, including a newer vanity and tiled shower with a pebble floor, but the overall aesthetic (pink walls) is still dated. While functional, the property requires minor updates, particularly in the kitchen and potentially the heating system, to meet current standards and appeal.
