More Insights
Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, has received recent cosmetic updates including new paint, new vinyl flooring downstairs, and new carpet upstairs, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated tile countertops and backsplash, older white appliances (except for a newer dishwasher), and a dated fluorescent light panel. Bathrooms also show older vanities, laminate countertops, dated light fixtures, and older vinyl flooring. While functional and clean, these key areas require substantial renovation to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained with functional yet outdated major components.
