More Insights

Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1959, has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh interior and exterior paint, new vinyl plank flooring, and updated bathrooms with new vanities and fixtures. The kitchen features granite countertops and white cabinetry, which are positive updates. However, the kitchen appliances (refrigerator, gas range) appear older and outdated, and the property lacks central air conditioning, relying on a wall heater. While move-in ready due to cosmetic refreshes, the older core structure, outdated kitchen appliances, and absence of a modern cooling system indicate that major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with a 'Fair' condition score.
