More Insights

Built in 1955 (70 years old).
Condition: Built in 1955, this property shows a mix of maintenance and updates. While one bathroom has been tastefully renovated with modern fixtures and tiling, the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances but retains older, traditional wood cabinets and a somewhat dated mosaic backsplash. The second bathroom is also significantly dated. Flooring is a mix of well-maintained hardwood, older tile, and carpet. The description explicitly mentions 'unpermitted additions,' which is a significant concern that could require substantial repairs, legal resolution, or future investment. Overall, the home is functional and 'move-in ready' but requires minor to moderate updates to achieve a contemporary aesthetic and address potential permit issues, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
