Built in 1964 (61 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1964, has received recent cosmetic updates including new flooring and fresh paint, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen, while clean, features dated white cabinets, grey countertops, and basic appliances that show signs of being outdated. Without images of the bathroom, it's assumed to be in a similar condition. While maintained, the major components like the kitchen and likely the bathroom have not undergone extensive modern renovations, aligning with the 'Fair' category where the home is aged but functional with outdated elements.
