More Insights

Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: This property, built in 1956, has clearly undergone significant and thoughtful updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, though the dark wood cabinetry style leans more traditional and suggests a renovation likely 10-15 years ago rather than brand new. Similarly, the bathrooms are clean and functional, but the vanity and light fixture styles are traditional and not indicative of a very recent, full renovation. Flooring is a mix of well-maintained hardwood, carpet, and tile. The outdoor spaces are exceptionally updated and well-appointed. While not 'excellent' due to the age of some aesthetic elements in the kitchen and bathrooms, the property is in very good condition with major systems functional and well-maintained, aligning with the 'good' category.
