More Insights

Built in 1950 (76 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1950, is well-maintained with good hardwood floors and some practical updates like dual-pane windows. However, the kitchen features dated tile countertops and an older electric coil cooktop, despite having some stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have significantly 'vintage retro' tiles and fixtures, indicating they are outdated and would likely require renovation to meet current aesthetic standards. While functional, these key areas prevent it from being considered 'Good' or 'Excellent' as they require more than minor cosmetic changes for most modern buyers.
