More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The description highlights 'Remodeled Kitchen and Baths,' which is visually confirmed by modern white shaker-style cabinets, dark granite countertops, a stainless steel refrigerator, and updated bathroom fixtures including a glass shower enclosure. The wood-look laminate flooring throughout also contributes to a contemporary feel. While the original structure is over 50 years old and some appliances (black range and microwave) are slightly dated, and the HVAC appears to be wall-mounted units rather than central, the significant updates to the most critical areas (kitchen and bathrooms) elevate its condition to 'Good' rather than 'Fair'.
