More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1955, has received some positive updates such as exquisite hardwood flooring, newer dual-pane windows, and stylish doors, which contribute to a well-maintained living space. However, the kitchen and bathroom are significantly dated. The kitchen features 'classically appointed' (older style) white appliances, green tiled countertops, and an older sink/faucet. The bathroom boasts 'vintage tile' and older fixtures. While functional and clean, these key areas show clear signs of being outdated and would likely require substantial renovation to meet modern aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of functional but outdated major components.
