More Insights

Built in 1973 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. While it benefits from functional updates like stainless steel appliances, a newer water heater, and owned solar panels, there is no indication of extensive recent renovations (within the last 15-30 years) that would modernize the entire home. The absence of interior images, particularly for the kitchen and bathrooms, suggests these key areas likely retain an older style and features, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The exterior appears well-maintained, but the overall age points to potential outdated systems or finishes.
