More Insights
This property has been on the market for 34 days.
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, has received recent cosmetic updates such as fresh paint and well-maintained hardwood floors throughout. However, the kitchen features significantly dated built-in appliances (oven, microwave) and an outdated fluorescent light fixture, indicating it has not undergone a full modern renovation. While the countertops appear updated, the overall kitchen style is not contemporary. Bathrooms are clean and functional with updated vanities and faucets, but the large wall-to-wall mirrors and cabinet styles suggest an older renovation or original features. The property is well-maintained and move-in ready from a cleanliness perspective, but key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms show their age and would require substantial updates to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Potential for Further Modernization: The description 'waiting for your personal touch' suggests that while cosmetically refreshed, key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms may not be fully updated to contemporary standards, potentially requiring additional investment.
