More Insights

Built in 1900 (126 years old).
Condition: Built in 1900, this property shows significant age and deferred maintenance. The kitchen features very outdated appliances, dark, worn cabinets, and a fluorescent light fixture, indicating a renovation from several decades ago. The single bathroom is extremely dated with a pink tub and old tile work, requiring a complete overhaul. While livable, the home needs substantial rehabilitation to update major systems, address cosmetic issues like cracked ceilings and worn flooring, and bring it to modern standards of comfort and efficiency.
