More Insights

Built in 1965 (61 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1965, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, including a remodeled kitchen in 2021 with Quartz counters and LG stainless appliances, updated modern bathrooms, new central heat & A/C, newer LVT plank flooring, energy-efficient dual-pane windows, recessed lighting, new ceiling fans, fresh paint, and a newer roof. These updates bring the property's condition to virtually new standards, making it truly move-in ready with minimal deferred maintenance. The offer of a credit for bedroom carpet addresses the only minor area that might need attention.
