Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1923, the home shows no evidence of recent renovations. The kitchen is severely dated with old laminate countertops and cabinetry, while the living spaces feature aged blue carpeting and 1970s-style wood paneling. Given the age and lack of visible updates, the property likely requires a full rehabilitation of the interior and major systems (HVAC/Electric/Plumbing).
