More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1955, is exceptionally clean and well-maintained, as noted in the description and visible in the images. However, the kitchen features dated laminate countertops, a patterned backsplash, and mixed-color appliances (white range, black dishwasher, white fridge), suggesting updates from 15-25 years ago rather than recent. The second bathroom also shows signs of age with older tile, vanity, and Hollywood-style lighting. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout much of the home. While the primary en suite appears more recently updated, the overall aesthetic and key components like the kitchen and second bathroom indicate the home is aged but maintained, requiring minor updates to meet current styles and standards. It is move-in ready but not extensively renovated within the last 15 years.
