More Insights
Built in 1950 (75 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1950, making it 75 years old. While the description states it is 'well-maintained' and 'move-in ready,' it also notes 'plenty of potential' for personalization, which typically implies that interior elements like the kitchen and bathrooms are functional but likely outdated in style and features. The absence of interior images prevents a detailed assessment of these critical areas, as well as flooring, fixtures, and appliances. Based on its age, it's highly probable that major components, while functional, show signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor updates or repairs to meet current standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
