More Insights
Built in 1928 (98 years old).
Condition: Built in 1928, this duplex shows its age with largely outdated interiors, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features dated tiled countertops, older white cabinetry with visible wear, and an older range hood. The bathrooms, while having a vessel sink, still appear dated with rough wall textures and basic fixtures. Flooring varies, with some newer laminate/vinyl in the kitchen and laundry, but also very dated checkered tile in the living/dining areas. While the property appears maintained and functional, and benefits from solar panels, it requires significant aesthetic updates to meet current standards. Major systems, as noted in the weaknesses, may also require investment due to the property's age.
