More Insights
Built in 1966 (59 years old).
Condition: Built in 1966, this property features a significantly outdated kitchen with old cabinets, laminate countertops, a coil-top electric stove, and linoleum/vinyl flooring. The bathroom is equally dated with an old vanity, tile, and fixtures. While the living areas show some cosmetic updates like fresh paint and newer carpet, the core functional areas (kitchen and bathroom) require substantial renovation to meet modern standards. The 'As Is' sale condition further indicates that the buyer will be responsible for these significant updates, aligning with the 'Poor' condition criteria for requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation of major components.
