More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1949, is generally well-maintained but shows significant signs of outdated style and finishes in key areas. The kitchen features high-end appliances but traditional dark wood cabinetry and a blue tiled backsplash that appear dated. The primary bathroom is particularly outdated with a blue jetted tub, terracotta-style tiles, and patterned wallpaper, suggesting renovations from 20-30+ years ago. While functional, these areas would require substantial aesthetic updates to meet current market expectations, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
