More Insights

Built in 1959 (66 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1959, has undergone significant updates to maintain its mid-century modern aesthetic, as described and evidenced by the images. The kitchen features modern cabinets and stainless steel appliances, appearing functional and stylish. Other upgrades include dual-paned windows and air conditioning. While the exact age of the renovations isn't specified, the overall condition suggests it's move-in ready with well-maintained systems and minimal wear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years. The unique backsplash in the kitchen is a stylistic choice rather than a sign of poor condition. No specific bathroom images were provided, but the general updated nature of the home implies a similar standard.
