More Insights

Built in 1942 (84 years old).
Condition: Built in 1942, this property features an 'original kitchen and a vintage bathroom,' indicating these critical areas are 82 years old and require substantial rehabilitation to meet modern standards. While the home appears livable and has original hardwood floors, the age of the kitchen, bathroom, and likely other major systems (plumbing, electrical) suggests they are well past their expected lifespan and would necessitate extensive replacements and updates, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria for substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
