More Insights
Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, this property is aged but appears well-maintained. The kitchen is significantly outdated with original-style oak cabinets, tile countertops, older appliances, and dated linoleum flooring and lighting, requiring substantial renovation to meet modern standards. While some areas like the bedrooms have newer laminate flooring and the living room has hardwood, the overall aesthetic and key fixtures (e.g., ceiling fans) are dated. The home is functional but shows its age and lacks modern updates in critical areas.
