More Insights
Built in 1970 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this property is over 50 years old. While described as 'turnkey,' the kitchen features very dated oak cabinets, old white appliances (gas range), laminate countertops, and linoleum flooring, strongly suggesting it has not undergone a major renovation in 30-50 years, or is largely original. The bathroom, though not fully pictured, is likely in a similar condition. These key areas require substantial rehabilitation and modernization to meet current quality and aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for properties built over 30 years ago with very old renovations.
