More Insights

Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, this property requires substantial modernization and renovation, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, old white appliances (including an electric coil cooktop), and patterned linoleum flooring. Both bathrooms have original-style tile, vanities, and fixtures from decades ago. While the hardwood floors in bedrooms are a plus and double-pane windows are an update, the overall interior style, lack of central cooling, and the age of major components necessitate significant investment to meet contemporary standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for substantial rehabilitation.
