More Insights
Built in 1968 (58 years old).
Condition: Built in 1968, this property has 'solid bones' and benefits from a new electrical panel and upgraded street connection. However, the listing explicitly states it's 'ready for cosmetic updates.' While some areas like the bonus rooms, certain flooring (LVP), and a few bathroom fixtures appear updated, the kitchen features dated cabinets and an older refrigerator, and many other areas, including some bathrooms and the living room, show signs of being outdated with popcorn ceilings and older finishes. It is functional and livable but requires substantial cosmetic renovation to meet modern standards.
