More Insights

Built in 1954 (72 years old).
Condition: Built in 1954, this home has been well-maintained but shows its age in key areas. The kitchen features granite countertops and ample cabinetry, but the traditional wood cabinets and black appliances suggest an upgrade that is likely 15-20 years old rather than recent. The bathrooms are clean and functional but are dated in style, with older vanities and fixtures. A significant factor is the lack of central air conditioning, relying instead on a window unit and a split AC unit, indicating an outdated HVAC system. While move-in ready, a buyer would likely consider updating the bathrooms and installing central AC, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of requiring minor updates and having major components that are functional but show signs of being outdated.
