More Insights
Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old. The kitchen is extremely dated, featuring a very old yellow electric coil range, original-looking dark wood cabinets, and laminate countertops, indicating a significant lack of renovation in a key area. The property description explicitly states 'Need some upgrades to make it your desirable home,' which, combined with the visual evidence of the kitchen, points to a need for substantial rehabilitation rather than minor updates. While copper pipes are a positive, they do not offset the overall dated condition of critical interior spaces.

Cons
