More Insights
Built in 1950 (75 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1950, making it over 70 years old. While the description states it has been 'meticulously loved and cared for' and 'thoughtfully maintained,' the actual photos of the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, reveal extremely outdated conditions. The kitchen (Image 5, 10) features original or very old wood cabinets, patterned linoleum flooring, and older appliances (aside from a possibly newer refrigerator). The bathrooms (Image 3, 9) are similarly dated with wood vanities, laminate countertops, brown sinks, patterned linoleum, and old light fixtures. The living areas also show older carpeting, wood paneling, and popcorn ceilings. The listing explicitly mentions that 'Some photos are virtually staged or digitally altered to illustrate potential,' confirming that the modern kitchen shown in one image is not the current state. These elements suggest that while the property may be functional, it has not undergone significant renovations in 30-50+ years and requires substantial rehabilitation and cosmetic updates to meet current standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
