More Insights
Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, is well-maintained with fresh paint and newer light-colored laminate flooring throughout. However, the kitchen is significantly outdated with white tile countertops, older white appliances (including a coil-top electric range), and a dated fluorescent ceiling light panel. While functional, these elements require substantial cosmetic and feature updates to meet current standards. The bathrooms, though not fully visible, likely share a similar dated aesthetic. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep but a lack of major modern renovations, fitting the 'aged but maintained' and 'outdated major components' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.
