More Insights
Built in 1985 (40 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979/1985, exhibits significant signs of age and deferred maintenance, particularly on the exterior with peeling paint and worn siding. The interior, while cluttered, reveals dated fixtures (e.g., older ceiling fans, apparent older flooring) and an overall aesthetic that requires substantial modernization. The MLS description explicitly states 'Extensive Renovation Required' and highlights 'Aging Infrastructure,' suggesting major systems may need replacement. The absence of photos for the kitchen and bathrooms, typically key selling points if updated, strongly indicates these areas are likely in poor, outdated condition, requiring complete overhauls. This aligns with the criteria for a 'Poor' condition score, indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
