More Insights
Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1981, making it over 40 years old. While the laminate flooring appears to be a more recent update and the property is clean, the kitchen features dated white cabinets, black countertops, and black appliances, along with an older fluorescent light fixture. The bathrooms also show outdated fixtures and finishes, including basic vanities and shower/tub combos with sliding glass doors. These elements indicate that while functional and maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms have not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years and require cosmetic updates to align with current styles and standards.
