Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this property is over 70 years old and is explicitly listed as an 'AS-IS SALE' with no mention of modern updates. The exterior images show an aged home with overgrown landscaping, suggesting deferred maintenance. Without interior photos, and given the age and 'AS-IS' condition, it's highly probable that the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are original or severely outdated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet current safety and comfort standards. This aligns with the 'poor' condition criteria.
