More Insights

Built in 1937 (89 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1937, is explicitly marketed as a 'remodeling or redevelopment prospect,' which is strongly supported by the images and description. The kitchen features highly dated tiled countertops, old cabinets, and a fluorescent light fixture. The main bathroom has equally dated orange/brown tiled walls and an older vanity. Throughout the main house, there are worn carpets, scratched hardwood floors, and basic, outdated light fixtures. The detached ADU also appears to be in a very rough, unfinished, and dated condition, requiring significant work. The overall state indicates a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation across all major interior components to meet modern standards.
