More Insights
Built in 1978 (47 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1978, making it 46 years old. While described as 'well maintained and move-in ready,' the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, older white appliances (some appear newer than others but not a full modern suite), and a fluorescent box light, indicating it has not been extensively renovated recently. Bathrooms show a mix of older fixtures (e.g., shower enclosure with gold-tone frame) and some minor updates (e.g., vinyl plank flooring, newer faucet), but overall lack a contemporary style. The carpets throughout are clean but contribute to an older aesthetic. The home is functional and maintained, but its key components, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current standards.
