More Insights
Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this mid-century modern home is well-maintained and functional. While two of the bathrooms appear to have been recently updated with modern fixtures and tiling (likely within the last 5-15 years), the kitchen features older wood cabinets, granite countertops, and a tiled backsplash that, along with the carpeted living areas and bedrooms, suggest updates from 15-30 years ago. The overall aesthetic is clean but shows signs of being outdated in several key areas. The absence of a cooling system is also a factor. It requires minor updates to bring it to a more contemporary standard, aligning with a 'Fair' condition.
