More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this property presents a well-maintained exterior and general living areas with hardwood floors, fresh paint, and recessed lighting, suggesting recent cosmetic updates. However, the kitchen features a dated galley layout with older white appliances (except for a newer dishwasher), and original or very old white cabinets and wood-look laminate countertops. Both bathrooms are also significantly outdated with older vanities, countertops, light fixtures, and tub/shower surrounds. While functional and livable, the property requires substantial renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms to meet modern standards and aesthetics, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
