More Insights
Built in 1948 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1948, this property shows significant age with no apparent major renovations in the last 30-50 years. The kitchen features very outdated white appliances, original-style wood cabinets, and older countertops/flooring, requiring a complete overhaul. The bathroom also exhibits dated fixtures, vanity, and tile, necessitating full renovation. While the description mentions 'solid bones,' the property explicitly states it needs 'cosmetic updates' and is 'ready for your vision,' which for these key areas translates to substantial rehabilitation. The unpermitted garage conversion is also a significant defect. The overall condition, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, indicates a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards, aligning with a 'Poor' rating.
