More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but is largely outdated. The kitchen features older light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and a mix of newer stainless steel appliances with older white ones. Bathrooms are clean and functional but have dated vanities, tile, and fiberglass shower/tub inserts. Flooring is a mix of older tile and laminate/engineered wood, not the 'hardwood' mentioned in the description. The presence of multiple window AC units suggests a lack of central air conditioning. While livable, the home requires significant cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards and potentially system upgrades due to its age.
