More Insights
Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated styles in key areas. The kitchen features very dated tile countertops, older wood cabinets, mixed appliances (some newer, some older), and fluorescent lighting. The primary and guest bathrooms also exhibit dated aesthetics with floral wallpaper, older vanities, and strip lighting, though the half-bath appears more recently updated. While the laminate flooring in living areas and carpet in bedrooms are clean, the overall impression is that the home requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and main bathrooms, to meet modern buyer expectations. Major components are functional but clearly outdated, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
