More Insights

Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: While the property is described as 'move-in ready' with central AC, hardwood flooring in some areas, and updated kitchen appliances, the 1952 build year and visible condition of key areas like the kitchen cabinets and dining room paneling indicate a 'fair' rating. The kitchen features original, worn cabinets and basic countertops, which would require minor to moderate updates to meet current standards. The custom-tiled bathroom, while unique, has a style that may be considered dated. Overall, the home is well-maintained but shows signs of being aged with occasional updates rather than a comprehensive recent renovation.
