One of the baths is remodeled with marble flooring. It is rare vintage that isn’t just a 2/1 but instead has an extra half bath.

  1. seems like a decent price even if there is only 1 full bath and it needs some updating.

  3. i think the kitchen is disgusting but you are correct, it has been updated.

    anyway, if this had A/C, covered parking, and a full 2nd bath, what do you all think would be the increase in value?
