More Insights
Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old. While the living areas feature updated polished concrete floors and modern ceiling fans, the kitchen and bathroom show significant signs of age. The kitchen has dated tiled countertops, traditional wood cabinets, and older white appliances. The bathroom features basic small square tiles and standard fixtures, indicating it has not been extensively renovated recently. The property is functional and move-in ready, but the kitchen and bathrooms would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
