More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1976, this property is well-maintained for its age and offers a charming mountain aesthetic. While it benefits from a brand new air conditioning system and updated granite countertops in the kitchen, the kitchen cabinets appear to be painted older units, and some appliances are not modern stainless steel. The bathrooms are clean and functional, but their styles are notably dated, featuring older fixtures, wood paneling in one, and a jacuzzi tub that reflects an older renovation period. The flooring is in good condition. Overall, the home is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, and while move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated and would likely benefit from minor aesthetic updates to meet current buyer preferences.
