Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. While well-maintained and clean, the kitchen features dated wood cabinets, tile countertops, and older white appliances. The bathroom also exhibits an older style with its vanity, countertop, and light fixtures. The carpet and tile flooring are functional but not contemporary. These elements suggest the home has been regularly maintained but has not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years, indicating that minor updates are required to modernize its aesthetic.
