More Insights

Built in 1958 (68 years old).
Condition: Built in 1958, this home retains much of its original character with some cosmetic updates. The kitchen features dated wood cabinetry, older black appliances (except for a newer stainless dishwasher), and functional but not modern countertops and flooring. Bathrooms are clean and functional but show outdated fixtures, vanities, and lighting. While the property appears well-maintained with fresh paint and some recessed lighting, major systems and key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms would require significant updates to meet current buyer expectations for style and efficiency. The parquet flooring and carpets are in decent condition but not new.
