More Insights

Built in 1969 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, this property is a 'time capsule' with an explicitly stated 'original Brady-Bunch-era oven' and very dated kitchen cabinets and countertops. The bathrooms also feature original or very old vanities, tile work, and fixtures, with the master shower appearing unfinished or in significant disrepair. While some cosmetic updates like laminate flooring and fresh paint are present, the major systems and core components (kitchen, bathrooms, and likely other systems given the age) require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
