Built in 1952 (73 years old).
Condition: The property, originally built in 1952, underwent an extensive remodel in 2005 and was 'upgraded again' in 2023. While the 2023 upgrades ensure it is move-in ready and well-maintained, the images reveal that not all components are 'virtually new' as required for an 'Excellent' rating. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and modern flush lighting, but the wood-tone cabinetry and dark countertops appear to be from the 2005 remodel, which is now 19 years old. One bathroom shows a basic fiberglass shower stall, while another is more recently updated with a modern vanity and tiled shower. The flooring throughout is consistent and in good condition. This indicates that while significant updates have occurred, the 2023 work was likely more of a refresh rather than a full, top-to-bottom renovation of all key areas, aligning it with the 'Good' category where some components are updated but it hasn't undergone a full recent renovation.
