More Insights

Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: This 1957-built home has undergone extensive, high-quality renovations, including a beautifully upgraded kitchen with white custom cabinetry, marble slab countertops, and stainless steel appliances, engineered hardwood flooring, new paint, and new carpet in bedrooms. The main bathroom is modern with a frameless glass shower and updated vanity. Dual-pane windows and sliding doors are also a significant upgrade. While these updates make the property largely move-in ready and aesthetically modern, the lack of central air conditioning and unspecified updates to other major systems (plumbing, electrical) for a home of this age prevent an 'Excellent' rating. The pool room bathroom also features somewhat dated turquoise tiling, though it appears clean and functional.
