More Insights
Built in 1968 (58 years old).
Condition: This 1968-built home is move-in ready with significant updates. The description highlights a 'remodeled primary bathroom and two additional bedrooms,' 'fresh interior and exterior paint,' and 'engineered wood floors.' Images confirm updated bathrooms with granite countertops and modern tiling, and a kitchen with granite, stainless steel appliances, and well-maintained dark wood cabinetry. While the kitchen style isn't ultra-modern, it's clean and functional. The overall aesthetic is bright and well-kept, with recessed lighting and ceiling fans. The property's age suggests some major systems might be older, but the visible components are in good condition, preventing an 'Excellent' score, but far exceeding 'Fair'.
