More Insights
Built in 1954 (71 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1954, the property shows evidence of significant recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances (gas range, microwave), a subway tile backsplash, and updated countertops, suggesting a renovation within the last 5-10 years. The bathroom also appears updated with a contemporary vanity, sink, and fixtures. Flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms seems to be updated laminate or LVP. While the cosmetic updates are substantial and make the home move-in ready with a modern aesthetic, the lack of explicit information regarding major system updates (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof) and the property's age prevent an 'Excellent' rating. The conversions of the master bedroom and garage also indicate significant work has been done, aligning with the 'extensively renovated within 5 to 15 years' criteria for a 'Good' score.
