More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this home is well-maintained and clean, with a significant update to the central HVAC system in 2017. The hardwood floors appear to be in good condition. However, the kitchen features dated mosaic tile backsplash, older-style vinyl flooring, and a fluorescent light fixture, suggesting a renovation that is likely 15-25 years old. The bathrooms are functional and clean but also show signs of being outdated with basic vanities, older tile work, and standard fixtures. While move-in ready, the property requires minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic and quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

Property Age: Built in 1955, the home's age may suggest that some original components or systems, beyond the HVAC, could require future updates or maintenance.
Bathroom Configuration: With 1.75 bathrooms for a 3-bedroom home, the lack of a second full bathroom might be a consideration for larger families or those desiring more modern amenities.
