More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring charming elements like hardwood floors, a skylight, and African mahogany doors. The kitchen has updated stainless steel appliances but retains older, basic white cabinets and linoleum/vinyl flooring. The bathroom is clean and functional but clearly dated with a pedestal sink and small square tiles. The property lacks central heating/cooling, relying on a wood-burning stove. While cosmetic updates and appliance replacements have been made, the overall style and some core components suggest renovations are older than 15 years, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of an aged but maintained home with functional but outdated major components.
