More Insights
Built in 1958 (67 years old).
Condition: This 1958-built home has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen which features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and an open-concept design, likely renovated within the last 10-15 years. The property benefits from owned solar panels and central air conditioning, indicating modern system upgrades. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout much of the living space. While the 'midcentury fireplace' and some older light fixtures suggest not every element is brand new, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required. The absence of bathroom photos is a minor concern, but the visible areas indicate a well-maintained home with functional and updated major systems.

Ambiguous Area & School District Information: The MLS area is listed as 'Not Defined' and the high school district as 'Other,' which could raise questions for buyers prioritizing specific, well-established neighborhood identities or top-rated school districts.
