More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property is significantly aged. While the listing describes the kitchen and bathroom as 'clean and usable,' the images clearly show very dated styles, appliances (vintage oven, old dishwasher, white refrigerator), countertops, and fixtures in both areas. The flooring in the living areas is a light wood laminate/engineered wood that appears decent, but the bedrooms have worn, dark blue carpet, and the sunroom has very dated green carpet. The overall interior, including light fixtures and wall finishes, reflects its age with no apparent major renovations in many decades. It is functional but requires substantial cosmetic and functional updates to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of being aged, maintained through regular upkeep, but with major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring updates.
