More Insights
Built in 1947 (78 years old).
Condition: Built in 1947, this property is largely original outside of a remodeled kitchen and updated copper pipes. While the living areas feature well-maintained hardwood floors and plantation shutters, the bathrooms are significantly outdated with original-style green tiling and fixtures, requiring a full renovation. The basement is partially finished but needs substantial work, and the ceiling fans in bedrooms are dated. The description notes 'Age-Related System Concerns' and 'Significant Renovation Required,' indicating that major systems like electrical and HVAC are likely old and will need substantial investment to meet current standards. The extent of necessary updates, particularly in the bathrooms and other systems, goes beyond minor repairs, classifying it as 'poor' despite its overall maintenance and remodeled kitchen.
