More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1968, this property is 56 years old. While the exterior, as shown in the image, appears well-maintained with a classic Mediterranean-Spanish Revival style, there is no information provided regarding recent major renovations to the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms. Given its age, it is highly probable that these key areas are either original or were last updated 20-30+ years ago, making them functional but outdated by current standards and likely requiring minor to moderate updates. The property does not show signs of significant defects that would classify it as 'Poor' or 'Tear-down', but it also lacks evidence of the extensive recent renovations needed to qualify as 'Good' or 'Excellent'.
