More Insights
Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1973, this property is over 50 years old. While it benefits from updated double-pane windows and central heat/AC, the interior finishes, particularly the kitchen and bathrooms, are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older light wood cabinets, basic white appliances, and an outdated ceiling fan/lighting. The bathrooms also show dated vanities, fixtures, and shower enclosures. Carpeting in the living areas and bedrooms appears worn. The home is functional and has been maintained, but requires substantial cosmetic renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring to meet current aesthetic standards, placing it firmly in the 'Fair' category.
