More Insights
Built in 1989 (36 years old).
Condition: Built in 1989, this property is 35 years old and shows clear signs of significant deferred maintenance and outdated features. The listing description explicitly states it 'needs some love to truly shine' and requires 'extensive renovation.' The kitchen features severely dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and older white appliances (dishwasher, range), all likely original or from an early 90s update. The bathroom also presents with dated vanity, countertop, and lighting fixtures. Flooring includes worn carpets and older tile/linoleum. While the property has 'good bones,' it requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation, including a full renovation of the kitchen and bathrooms, replacement of flooring, and likely updates to major systems due to age, aligning with the criteria for a 'poor' condition score.
