More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1976, this property exhibits classic charm but shows significant signs of being outdated, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features traditional wood cabinets, dated stone countertops, and a mix of appliances (newer dishwasher, older Viking range). The bathrooms have dated vanities, fixtures, and tiling (e.g., blue mosaic in one). While functional and seemingly well-maintained, the interior aesthetics, including worn carpets in some areas and the overall wood-heavy style, require substantial updates to meet modern buyer preferences. It is livable but needs minor to moderate renovations.
