More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, this property has received significant cosmetic updates including new laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a modern bathroom vanity with an illuminated mirror. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but the cabinets appear to be older units that have been painted, showing some wear. A key factor preventing a 'Good' rating is the reliance on window AC units, indicating a lack of central HVAC, which is an outdated major system. While move-in ready and well-maintained, the underlying older construction and absence of modern central cooling place it in the 'Fair' category, suggesting it's functional but could benefit from further updates to major systems.
