More Insights

Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1960, shows a mix of recent functional upgrades and significantly dated cosmetic features. While major systems like the water heater, windows, and garage door are new or upgraded, and central A/C and heating are present, the kitchen and bathrooms are very outdated. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, an older white cooktop, and dated tile flooring. Bathrooms have older vanities, fixtures, and tile work (e.g., gold-framed shower). Some interior spaces also feature dated wood paneling and worn carpeting. The home is maintained and functional, but requires substantial cosmetic updates and renovations in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms to meet modern standards.
