More Insights
Built in 1951 (74 years old).
Condition: The property features extensive modern upgrades throughout, including a fully renovated kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and a subway tile backsplash. The bathroom is also updated with a modern vanity and fixtures. New wood-look flooring, fresh paint, double-pane windows, central A/C, forced-air heating, and a tankless water heater contribute to a move-in ready condition. However, the original structure was built in 1951, and a significant portion of the home (additional bedroom and bathroom) is an unpermitted addition. While the visible renovations are of excellent quality, the age of the underlying structure and the unpermitted work detract from an 'Excellent' overall rating, placing it firmly in the 'Good' category.
