More Insights

Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1964, is move-in ready and well-maintained with fresh paint and updated flooring. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances (except for the refrigerator) and basic white cabinetry, suggesting a renovation that is likely 15-25 years old. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional but exhibit older vanity styles, integrated sinks, and tile work that are not contemporary. While some cosmetic updates like flooring and paint are more recent, the core elements of the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
