More Insights
Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old. The interior, particularly the bathroom, shows clear signs of being original or having undergone a renovation more than 30 years ago. The bathroom features a dated vanity, integrated sink, fluorescent box lighting, and older hardware. Throughout the unit, there is beige carpeting, popcorn ceilings, and dated light fixtures (e.g., the entryway pendant). While the property appears clean and well-maintained, it requires significant cosmetic updates to the kitchen (no images provided, but assumed to be similar to the bathroom's condition), bathroom, and general finishes to meet current aesthetic standards. Major systems are likely functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
