More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1977, making it 47 years old. While it features some updates like laminate flooring, smooth ceilings, a stainless steel refrigerator, and a mosaic tile backsplash in the kitchen, many key areas show their age. The kitchen cabinets, countertops, and the fluorescent panel lighting are dated, as are the white stove and microwave (contrasting with the newer fridge). Bathrooms also feature older vanities, fixtures, and lighting. The cooling system is partial, with only the primary bedroom having A/C, and an older wall unit visible in the living area. The listing description itself notes the unit is 'waiting for your special touches' and the property analysis highlights that it 'requires updates/personalization.' These factors indicate that while the home is maintained and functional, it requires minor updates to modernize its style and features, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
