More Insights
Built in 1937 (88 years old).
Condition: Built in 1937, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'fixer' and 'as-is opportunity,' indicating substantial repairs are needed. The kitchen features extremely outdated appliances (vintage stove), old cabinets, and tile countertops, requiring a full gut renovation. Both bathrooms are severely dated with old fixtures, peeling paint, and vintage tile (e.g., pink/peach), also necessitating complete overhauls. Flooring is worn hardwood, old tile, and peeling linoleum. Walls show significant wear and peeling paint. While the description mentions 'great bones,' the visible interior condition confirms it requires extensive rehabilitation to be safely and comfortably habitable, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
