More Insights

Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: Built in 1957, this property exhibits a mix of well-maintained but largely dated features. The kitchen, with its tile countertops, older wood cabinets, black appliances, and linoleum flooring, is significantly outdated and would require a full renovation to meet modern standards. While one bathroom appears to have been updated more recently with a granite-like counter and tiled shower, the other two bathrooms feature very dated tile, fixtures, and wallpaper (e.g., the blue tiled bathroom), indicating renovations from 20-40+ years ago or original components. Flooring throughout is primarily carpet and dated tile. The property is functional and appears well-kept, but major cosmetic and some functional updates are needed, particularly in the kitchen and most bathrooms.
