More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: While the listing states 'NEWER remodeled kitchen and baths (2021),' images reveal a significant discrepancy. The kitchen and one bathroom appear recently updated with modern finishes, quartz countertops, and new flooring. However, the second bathroom is notably dated with pink/peach tiles, an older vanity, and fixtures, clearly not having been remodeled in 2021. The property also features new laminate wood flooring and fresh paint, and dual-pane windows. However, the original build year is 1951, and the cooling system is limited to split AC units in bedrooms, with window units visible in other areas, indicating a lack of central air. The detached laundry room also adds a minor inconvenience. The dated second bathroom and limited cooling system mean the property requires minor updates and repairs to achieve a consistent modern standard throughout, aligning with a 'Fair' condition score.
