More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1956, is explicitly described as a 'cosmetic fixer' with a kitchen that 'will need some updating.' Images confirm very dated kitchen features, including pink laminate countertops, old cabinets, and older appliances, along with similarly outdated bathrooms. While major systems like the roof, furnace, and water heater are new or newer, indicating good maintenance of critical infrastructure, the interior aesthetics require substantial renovation to meet current standards. The home is aged but functional, fitting the 'Fair' category where major components (like kitchen and bathroom finishes) are functional but show significant signs of being outdated, without presenting structural defects or safety concerns that would warrant a 'Poor' rating.
