More Insights

Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, this home is well-maintained with some updates like stainless steel kitchen appliances and an updated bathroom vanity. However, the kitchen's solid wood cabinetry and tile countertops appear dated, and the bedroom carpets are not new. While functional and move-in ready, it shows signs of being aged with occasional updates rather than a recent extensive renovation, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of requiring minor updates and having major components that are functional but outdated.
