More Insights

Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is a well-preserved Mid-Century Modern architectural gem with a recently remodeled kitchen featuring modern appliances and finishes. One of the bathrooms has also been updated to a contemporary style. However, the second bathroom appears dated with an older vanity and fixtures. Crucially, the listing's own analysis highlights 'Potential for System Updates' for major components like plumbing, electrical, and HVAC due to the home's age. While aesthetically pleasing and well-maintained in many areas, these underlying system concerns and the partially updated bathrooms indicate that the property requires minor updates and potential future investment in major systems, aligning with a 'Fair' condition score.
