More Insights
Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this property is explicitly described as needing someone 'to come make it their own,' indicating a significant need for renovation and updates. The exterior images show dated stucco, unkempt landscaping, and an older pool area with worn concrete and fencing, suggesting deferred maintenance. While the roof is newer, the lack of interior photos for a home of this age, combined with the description, strongly implies that the kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, and other major systems are original or very outdated and require substantial rehabilitation to meet current standards. This aligns with the 'poor' condition criteria.
