More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this property is an older home that has been well-maintained and received cosmetic updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen, while functional, features dated white painted cabinets, older-style countertops, and a dated chandelier. The description mentions 'clean finishes and a modern feel' for the bathroom, but no images are provided, and the single bathroom for three bedrooms is a significant functional limitation. Flooring is consistent, durable tile but is dated in style. Light fixtures are also dated. While the addition of solar panels is a positive upgrade, the overall interior style, particularly in the kitchen, and the likely age of major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) indicate that the property would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with a 'fair' condition.
