More Insights
Built in 1960 (66 years old).
Condition: While the kitchen has been recently remodeled with modern cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and LVP flooring, and the home features hardwood floors and double-paned windows, the property was built in 1960. One bathroom appears updated, but the second bathroom (Image 16) is significantly dated with older tile and fixtures, requiring renovation. Popcorn ceilings are present throughout, and there is no mention of central air conditioning or updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, roof), which are likely original or nearing end-of-life. The landscaping also requires significant work, indicating that while some areas are well-maintained, others show their age and require updates.
