More Insights
Built in 1956 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1956, this property shows its age with largely original or dated features, particularly in the kitchen. While the exterior appears maintained and solar panels are a positive update, the kitchen features older cabinet styles, a dated tiled island, and a mix of minor updates (like the backsplash and faucet) that don't fully modernize the space. The fireplace also appears original. The home is functional but requires significant aesthetic updates to meet current quality standards and address outdated components.
