TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1927, this property has undergone recent cosmetic refreshes including newer flooring, countertops, and the addition of a modern mini-split HVAC system. However, the kitchen cabinetry and overall structure remain dated (15-30y+ style), and the home requires further modernization to move beyond basic functional condition.
