Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949 and described as 'mostly in original condition,' this property requires substantial rehabilitation to modernize. The kitchen features dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, old-style white tile flooring, and a fluorescent ceiling light, despite a newer built-in microwave. The bathroom is equally dated with an old vanity, integrated sink, basic light fixture, and matching white tile. While functional, the interior aesthetics and features are significantly outdated, necessitating a full renovation of key areas to meet current standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with very old or no major renovations.
