Condition: Built in 1953, this property features a highly dated kitchen with bright red cabinets, tile countertops, and tile flooring, along with similarly outdated bathrooms. While some areas like the living room have newer flooring, the critical kitchen and bathroom areas require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
