More Insights
Built in 1940 (86 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1940, making it over 80 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained with some visible updates like newer windows, a sliding glass door, and fresh paint, there are no interior images, particularly of the kitchen and bathrooms. The description states the property 'has been maintained,' which suggests regular upkeep rather than extensive modern renovations. Given its age and the lack of interior updates, it's highly probable that the major systems (plumbing, electrical) and interior finishes, especially kitchens and bathrooms, are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current standards and aesthetics. This aligns with the 'Fair' condition criteria, indicating an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated components.
