More Insights
Built in 1966 (59 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1966 (58 years old), is explicitly described as a 'fixer' and 'sold as is,' indicating a need for substantial rehabilitation. Images confirm this, showing a severely outdated kitchen with old appliances, laminate countertops, and dated cabinets. Bathrooms feature old fixtures and finishes. Flooring consists of worn carpet and old vinyl/linoleum. Popcorn ceilings and dated light fixtures are prevalent throughout. The heating system appears to be an older wall unit. While not unlivable or structurally unsound (which would suggest 'tear-down'), the property requires extensive renovations to meet modern standards of comfort and functionality, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
