More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old. While it has received updates, the kitchen features dated black speckled granite countertops, a tumbled tile backsplash, and white appliances that are functional but not modern. The bathrooms also show similar dated finishes, such as black granite and an ornate mirror. The hardwood flooring is well-maintained, and the overall property appears clean and functional, but the style of the renovations suggests they were completed 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for an aged home maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates.
