More Insights
Built in 1951 (75 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this property has received recent exterior updates including a new roof and driveway. The interior features classic hardwood floors and fresh paint in many areas. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with old tile countertops, backsplash, and basic appliances, explicitly noted in the listing as needing 'significant updates' to meet modern standards. One bathroom also features very dated tile in the shower/tub area. While functional and well-maintained in parts, the property requires substantial renovation in key areas, particularly the kitchen, to align with contemporary tastes and functionality, preventing it from being considered 'Good' despite its overall cleanliness and recent exterior improvements.
