More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1951, this home has received updates, but they appear to be older, likely 15-20 years ago, rather than recent. The kitchen features painted cabinets, a modern refrigerator, but an older double wall oven and a granite countertop with a brown subway tile backsplash that appears dated. The bathroom has updated tile flooring and a dark vanity, but the overall style and mosaic accent tile also suggest an older renovation. While the hardwood floors are in good condition and the home is functional and move-in ready, the aesthetic in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms shows signs of being outdated. The property analysis also highlights the age of the property and potential need for updates to major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), which is consistent with a home of this vintage that hasn't undergone a full recent renovation. The owned solar panels are a significant modern upgrade, but they don't address the interior aesthetic or core system age.
