More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this property is over 40 years old. While some areas like the kitchen have received partial updates (stainless steel fridge, granite-look counters, subway tile backsplash), the original cabinet style and dated ceiling texture remain. The bathrooms are clearly outdated with 80s/90s tile, vanity, and light fixtures, requiring significant renovation to meet modern standards. Other elements like chandeliers and some carpeting also show their age. The property appears maintained but requires minor to moderate updates, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, to appeal to contemporary tastes, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
