More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1968, making it 56 years old. The exterior image shows significant signs of age and wear, including weathered siding, an aged Spanish tile roof, and a dated garage door, indicating a lack of recent major renovations and deferred maintenance. While the description highlights architectural features like vaulted ceilings and a brick fireplace, it provides no details on the condition or modernity of the kitchen, bathrooms, or major systems. Given the age and visible exterior, it is highly probable that the kitchen and bathrooms are original or were last updated 30-50 years ago, requiring substantial rehabilitation. Major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are also likely at or past their expected lifespan, necessitating significant repairs or replacement to meet current standards and comfort.

No Scenic Views: The property explicitly states 'view: None,' which could be a drawback for buyers prioritizing scenic outlooks or panoramic vistas.
