Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951 and sold 'as-is,' this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features severely outdated appliances, laminate countertops, basic cabinets, and old linoleum flooring. Bathrooms are equally dated with original or very old fixtures and finishes. While some hardwood floors exist, the overall interior shows significant wear, popcorn ceilings, and a complete lack of modern updates, indicating major renovations are needed to meet current standards.
