More Insights
Built in 1959 (66 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1959, making it over 60 years old. While the provided image shows clean walls and what appear to be well-maintained or updated windows, there is no information about recent major renovations, especially concerning the kitchen and bathrooms. The MLS listing itself notes 'Building Age' and 'Potential for Outdated Interiors' as weaknesses. This suggests that while the property is likely maintained and functional, its interior finishes and major systems are probably dated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. Without specific details or images of the kitchen and bathrooms, and given the age, a 'fair' condition score is appropriate, indicating it's aged but maintained, with components that show signs of being outdated.
