More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, this property shows clear signs of dated construction and finishes, particularly in the kitchen with its older light wood cabinets, dated countertops, and white appliances. The interior features textured ceilings (popcorn), older tile flooring in main areas, and worn carpeting in bedrooms. While the exterior and pool appear well-maintained, the interior, including the assumed condition of the unseen bathrooms, would require significant cosmetic updates to meet modern standards. However, there are no visible major defects or signs of disrepair that would render it unsafe or unlivable, indicating it has been maintained over the years. It is functional but outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
