More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1972, the property has undergone a 'tastefully remodeled' interior, as stated in the description, which is evident in the images. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, updated light wood cabinetry, black granite countertops, and a mosaic tile backsplash, along with recessed lighting. The bathroom vanity shown also has updated cabinetry, vessel sinks, and modern fixtures. The flooring, a mix of tile and carpet, appears clean and well-maintained. While the sunken living room is a design feature from an older era, the critical areas (kitchen and bathrooms) have been significantly updated, likely within the last 5-15 years, making the property move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The overall condition suggests good maintenance, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria.
