More Insights

Built in 1961 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this property benefits from significant recent functional upgrades, including a high-efficiency HVAC system, solar panels, and a house generator, placing its major systems well within their expected lifespan. The kitchen features high-end Viking appliances, which are a major asset. However, the kitchen cabinets and countertops appear dated, and one living area has an outdated red carpet. While some cosmetic updates are needed to modernize the aesthetic, the property is move-in ready with strong core systems and appliances, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria where some components are updated but not a full recent renovation has occurred.
