More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, this home has received recent exterior updates including a new roof, garage door, and fresh paint, which are positives. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, is significantly dated with original-style wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and linoleum flooring, requiring a full renovation to meet modern standards. One bathroom appears to have been updated more recently with a newer vanity and shower, while the other features an older pedestal sink and basic tiled tub/shower. Light fixtures, wood paneling in the family room, and general interior aesthetics are also outdated. The property is functional and appears well-maintained but requires substantial cosmetic updates throughout the majority of the interior.
