Built in 1930 (96 years old).
Condition: Built in 1930, this property features three cabins that have received recent cosmetic updates, including fresh paint, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, and newer flooring (tile and wood-look laminate) in various areas. The kitchens and bathrooms are clean and functional, making the property move-in ready. However, these updates are basic and do not address the underlying age of the structures or major systems. Exposed electrical conduit is visible throughout the interiors, and heating/cooling relies on wall heaters and window AC units, indicating outdated electrical and HVAC systems. While maintained and livable, the property shows its age through these outdated components and basic finishes, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
