More Insights
Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. The kitchen features very dated dark cabinetry, older-style countertops, and basic appliances, suggesting it's either original or was last renovated 30-50+ years ago. The bathroom also exhibits a significantly outdated vanity, fixtures, and tile flooring. Throughout the home, popcorn ceilings are visible, and light fixtures are basic and old-fashioned. While some areas have laminate flooring, the overall condition of key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, combined with the age of the property and lack of recent major renovations, indicates that substantial repairs and rehabilitation are required to bring it up to modern standards.
