More Insights
Built in 1976 (49 years old).
Condition: Built in 1976, this property shows its age despite recent interior paint. The kitchen features dated white laminate countertops, basic white cabinets, and older white appliances, suggesting a renovation from 20-30+ years ago or original components. The bathroom also presents an outdated style with a cultured marble vanity and older tile in the shower. While the 'Pavel tile floor' is clean, its style is also dated. The property is functional and appears well-maintained, but significant updates are needed in the kitchen and bathroom to align with current aesthetic and quality standards.
