More Insights
Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: Built in 1959, this property is over 60 years old with no mention of significant renovations. The absence of interior photos, especially for the kitchen and bathroom, for a home of this age strongly suggests these areas are severely outdated and would require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards. Major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original or very old and at the end of their lifespan, necessitating extensive replacements. While the exterior appears maintained, the overall condition points to a need for significant investment beyond minor updates.
