More Insights

Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, has received recent cosmetic updates including new carpet, paint, and a new roof, along with a modern Nest thermostat. However, the kitchen features dated tiled countertops and older white appliances, despite having seemingly updated white cabinets. No bathroom images were provided, but based on the kitchen's condition and the property's age, it likely also requires updates. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the outdated kitchen elements prevent it from being rated 'Good' and indicate that minor updates are required to meet current aesthetic standards.
