More Insights
Built in 1949 (76 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property is an older home showing significant signs of age and neglect. The visible interior (living room) features unfinished walls, dated fixtures, and a general state of disarray, indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. While solar panels are a plus, the overall condition, including the worn exterior patio, suggests that major systems and aesthetics require extensive updates. The absence of kitchen and bathroom images, combined with the visible evidence, implies these critical areas are likely in similar poor condition, necessitating a full renovation.
