More Insights

Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, the property shows signs of being well-maintained with some updates, but the main kitchen features dated elements such as painted cabinets, dark standard countertops, and older tile flooring, suggesting a renovation 15-25 years ago rather than a recent one. The kitchenette is very basic. While some areas like the downstairs living room have more modern wood-look flooring and an updated fireplace, the overall condition, particularly the kitchen and the absence of visible modern bathrooms, indicates that significant updates are needed to meet current quality and style standards. The lack of central cooling also contributes to this assessment.
