More Insights
Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this property shows a mix of updates and original features. The kitchen has been nicely updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, which is a significant improvement. The main living areas feature updated tile and laminate flooring. However, the bathroom shown is notably dated with an older vanity, countertop, and fixtures, indicating it has not been recently renovated. Furthermore, the listing notes 'unspecified updates to major systems (e.g., HVAC, roof, plumbing, electrical),' suggesting these critical components may be original or older, which is a concern for a home of this age. While move-in ready, the dated bathroom and potential for older major systems prevent it from achieving a 'Good' rating, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category where minor updates and potential system checks are required.
