More Insights

Built in 1937 (88 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1937, is well-maintained with functional major systems like central air and forced air heating. However, the interior aesthetics, particularly the kitchen with its classic-wood cabinetry, dated granite countertops, and fluorescent lighting, along with the prevalent blue carpeting throughout, indicate that significant renovations have not occurred recently. While the description mentions 'modern appliances,' the white color scheme and overall kitchen style appear dated. The light fixtures are also outdated. The home is livable and maintained but requires minor to moderate cosmetic updates to align with current styles and preferences, fitting the 'fair' condition criteria.
