More Insights
Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, is aged but appears well-maintained structurally with appealing features like vaulted beamed ceilings and wood floors in the main living areas. However, the listing description explicitly mentions 'incredible potential' and 'dreaming of a custom remodel,' and the property analysis highlights 'potential for modernization' and 'significant renovation investment implied' for interior finishes. The images confirm this, particularly in the bathrooms, which feature dated elements such as tile countertops, older vanities, and lighting fixtures (e.g., Image 15, 18, 20). While the kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances, the cabinetry style and concrete-like countertops are not contemporary and would likely be part of a 'custom remodel.' The primary bathroom has some updated features like a walk-in shower and freestanding tub, but the vanity is very traditional. Overall, the home is functional but requires substantial updates to its key living spaces (kitchen and most bathrooms) to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
