More Insights
Built in 1940 (85 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1940, presents a mixed condition across its multiple units. The primary unit (as depicted in images 1-8) has undergone significant recent renovations, featuring a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated wood cabinetry, white subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a contemporary bathroom with a modern vanity and fixtures. This unit alone would be considered 'Good' to 'Excellent'. However, other units within the property (as seen in images 9-10) are considerably dated, showcasing older kitchens with less modern appliances and cabinetry, as well as bedrooms with older carpets and light fixtures. While the property is described as 'well-maintained', the overall condition is pulled down by these outdated units, indicating that while functional, they would require minor to substantial updates to align with current aesthetic and quality standards.
