More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1953, is well-maintained with good curb appeal and a recently remodeled primary bathroom. However, the kitchen, while functional, features dated light wood cabinets, granite countertops, mosaic backsplash, and black electric appliances, suggesting an update 15-25 years ago rather than recent. The second bathroom also appears to be from a similar period. Hardwood floors are in good condition, and the deck is modern, but the overall style of key areas like the kitchen and secondary bath, combined with the lack of central air conditioning (a noted weakness), indicates it's move-in ready but would benefit from minor updates to align with current standards. This fits the 'Fair' category, where the home is aged but maintained, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
