More Insights
Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, this property is over 50 years old. The listing's emphasis on 'endless potential' and 'opportunity to add your personal touch' strongly indicates that the home requires significant updates. There is no mention of recent major renovations, and the exterior image supports an un-renovated, dated aesthetic. While likely maintained, the kitchen, bathrooms, and major systems are almost certainly original or last updated decades ago, showing signs of being outdated and requiring substantial modernization rather than just minor repairs.
