More Insights

Built in 1966 (59 years old).
Condition: Built in 1966, this property has received some updates, notably in the kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances, which are functional but not brand new. However, the overall condition is brought down by dated and worn carpets throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and dated tile flooring in the kitchen. The bathrooms are basic and show no signs of recent significant renovation. A major drawback is the limited cooling system, with only mini-splits mentioned for specific rooms, implying a lack of central air conditioning, which is a significant concern in a desert climate. While move-in ready, it requires minor updates to flooring, light fixtures, and a more comprehensive cooling system to meet modern standards and comfort expectations.
