More Insights

Built in 1953 (72 years old).
Condition: Built in 1953, this property is well-maintained but shows significant signs of being outdated in key areas. The main house kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a newer-looking island, but the dark speckled granite perimeter countertops, backsplash, and garden window suggest a renovation from 15-25 years ago. The main bathrooms, particularly with mirrored walls and older tile styles, appear to be from an even older renovation (25-40+ years ago). While the guest house appears more recently updated, the overall property is explicitly marketed as a 'renovation opportunity' to 'add value, customize, & create your dream home,' indicating it requires substantial updates to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
