More Insights
Built in 1961 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this property shows signs of being well-maintained with functional systems like central heating and AC. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and updated cabinetry, but the style (cream raised panel cabinets, diagonal tile flooring) appears to be from a renovation likely 15-25 years ago, making it functional but dated rather than modern. Other areas also feature dated diagonal tile and textured wall finishes. While clean and livable, the property requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (no images provided for bathrooms, but inferred to be similar condition to kitchen). It fits the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated.
