More Insights

Built in 1952 (74 years old).
Condition: Built in 1952, this home has undergone significant cosmetic updates, including fresh interior paint and wood laminate flooring throughout, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features updated white shaker-style cabinets and a newer stainless steel microwave, though the range is basic black and some elements like the exposed ductwork and microwave shelving are less modern. The bathroom has an updated vanity and sink, but the light fixture and mosaic tile backsplash appear dated. The cooling system relies on a roof-mounted evaporative cooler and wall-mounted AC units, rather than central air, indicating older underlying systems. While not a full, high-end renovation, the property is well-maintained and functional with no immediate renovation required.
