More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, this property is well-maintained and clean, but the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features traditional honey oak cabinetry, solid surface countertops, a dated fluorescent ceiling light, and a mix of white and stainless steel appliances, suggesting updates were not recent or comprehensive. The bathrooms have dated gold-tone fixtures, traditional vanities, and older-style wall surrounds. While functional and move-in ready, the aesthetic and some features like wall AC units indicate that the property has not undergone extensive modern renovations within the last 15-30 years, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
