More Insights
Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1960, this home has received some important functional updates like newer forced-air heating and a 100 amp electrical service. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and general living areas, is significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances, original-style wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and dated lighting fixtures. The living spaces and bedrooms are characterized by wood paneling and older patterned carpets. The bathroom appears functional with a fiberglass tub/shower insert and some painted walls, but it is not modern. While well-maintained, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, fitting the 'fair' category.
