More Insights

Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property retains much of its original mid-century charm and appears well-maintained structurally, with beautiful vaulted wood ceilings and extensive decking. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with original-style wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older appliances (electric coil stovetop, older refrigerator). While the carpet and hardwood floors appear to be in good condition, the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and likely the bathrooms (though not fully visible) suggests they have not been extensively renovated in decades. The listing description also notes the property is on the market for the first time in 47 years and mentions 'potential for updates' due to its age. An unfinished rec room also requires investment. These factors indicate that while the home is functional and livable, it requires substantial updates to key areas to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
