More Insights

Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: Built in 1960, this home is well-maintained but features several dated elements. The kitchen has light wood cabinetry and a mix of older and newer appliances, suggesting it hasn't been extensively renovated recently. Parquet flooring throughout much of the home, while in good condition, is an outdated style. While the primary bathroom shows some modern updates (vessel sink, dark shower surround), the overall impression, including the lack of central air conditioning, indicates that the property would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to meet contemporary tastes.
