More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, the property has seen some significant updates like a new roof and owned solar panels, which are excellent. The kitchen features updated white cabinetry, granite countertops, and a farmhouse sink, but the black appliances and white-paneled dishwasher are not current trends. The bathrooms, particularly the hall bath with its ornate vanity and gold-toned fixtures, appear stylistically dated, likely from a renovation 15-30 years ago. A major functional drawback is the absence of central air conditioning, which would be a significant upgrade for a home of this age and location. While move-in ready and well-maintained, it requires substantial updates to the bathrooms and the installation of central AC to meet modern buyer expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
