More Insights

Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this property is aged but appears well-maintained. While the seller is providing fresh paint and new carpet, the kitchen features dated white appliances (despite a 'newer stainless frig' mentioned, a white one is pictured), older cabinets, and laminate countertops. The bathroom also shows outdated fixtures, vanity, and lighting. The presence of a wall-mounted AC unit further indicates older systems. The property is functional and livable but requires significant cosmetic updates to modernize the kitchen and bathrooms.
