More Insights

Built in 1975 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1975, this property is aged and clearly requires significant cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which feature original-style wood cabinets, dated tile countertops, and older appliances. While the description notes 'fresh new carpet' in some areas, a new water heater, and leased solar panels, these are minor updates. The home is described as 'well-built' with 'solid construction,' indicating no major structural or safety defects, but it is explicitly 'ready for cosmetic updates' to modernize its aesthetic. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, where a home is aged but maintained, functional but outdated, and requires minor updates or repairs (in this case, substantial cosmetic renovation).
