More Insights

Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1973, is well-maintained with some recent updates like newer carpet, window coverings, a stackable washer/dryer, and Toto toilets in the bathrooms. However, the kitchen is explicitly noted as needing updating, and images reveal dated white appliances, cabinets, and tile countertops. The bathrooms, despite some newer fixtures, still feature older vanities and a dated carpeted floor in the vanity area. Other elements like popcorn ceilings, mirrored walls, older light fixtures (e.g., brass chandelier), and wall-mounted AC units further indicate that while functional, the home has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation and requires significant cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen, to align with contemporary styles.
