More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1972, is well-maintained and benefits from a recently installed HVAC system and updated bathroom tiling and fixtures. However, the kitchen retains its original walnut veneer cabinetry and dated countertops, indicating it has not undergone a full modern renovation. While appliances appear functional and somewhat updated, the overall kitchen style and some other elements reflect its age, aligning with a 'Fair' condition where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and minor updates or repairs are required to bring it to a more contemporary standard.
