More Insights
Built in 1942 (83 years old).
Condition: Built in 1942, this property has received recent cosmetic updates including new interior/exterior paint, freshly redone bedroom flooring, and newer kitchen cabinets. However, the bathroom is notably dated, featuring an older vanity and basic tile. The home relies on a wall heater, indicating a lack of central HVAC, and there's no mention of updates to major systems like plumbing, electrical, or roofing. While move-in ready, significant components are outdated and would require substantial investment to meet modern standards and comfort, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
