More Insights

Built in 1923 (102 years old).
Condition: Built in 1923 and explicitly marketed as a 'project' on the market for the first time in over 50 years, this property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen features severely outdated cabinets, worn laminate countertops, a dated backsplash, and no modern appliances. The bathroom is equally outdated with a yellow vanity, old integrated sinks, and basic fixtures. Throughout the home, there are old carpets, dated linoleum/vinyl flooring, and old-style light fixtures and a wall heater, indicating major systems are likely at or beyond their expected lifespan. The overall condition suggests it would be very uncomfortable to live in its current state without extensive renovations.
