More Insights

Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property shows signs of regular upkeep with neutral paint and carpet. However, the kitchen features dated white appliances, older cabinets, and a fluorescent light fixture, while the bathroom has a basic vanity, integrated sink, and dated lighting. These key areas, along with popcorn ceilings throughout, indicate that while functional and clean, the property has not undergone a major renovation in the last 15-30 years and requires significant aesthetic updates to meet current standards.
