More Insights
Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1973, has received recent cosmetic updates including new laminate flooring in the main living area, fresh paint, updated kitchen cabinets and countertops, and a refreshed bathroom vanity. However, significant outdated elements remain, such as the very old white coil-top electric range and refrigerator, dated tile flooring in the kitchen and bathroom, a popcorn ceiling throughout, and a wall-mounted A/C unit instead of central air. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to key areas like kitchen appliances and wet area flooring to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
