More Insights
Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1958, has undergone extensive and recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is a highlight, featuring modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and well-maintained light wood cabinetry, consistent with a 'chef's delight' description. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout the main living areas, complemented by newer, clean carpeting in the bedrooms. Recessed lighting and neutral paint colors provide a fresh, updated aesthetic. While the bathrooms are clean and fully functional, their fixtures and style, particularly the vanities and shower enclosures, suggest they were updated perhaps 10-15 years ago rather than being 'virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the home is very well-maintained with no immediate renovation needs, fitting the 'Good' category.
