More Insights
Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this 40-year-old property explicitly 'needs TLC' and has 'dated systems/aesthetics' according to the listing. The kitchen features original 1980s wood cabinetry, white tile countertops, and older white appliances, along with dated fluorescent lighting. While functional, these elements require significant updating to meet current standards. The overall interior, including tile flooring and light fixtures, also appears dated. There are no indications of major structural or safety defects, but the home requires substantial cosmetic renovations and potential system upgrades due to its age, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for a property built 25-40 years ago with no major renovations since construction, where major components are functional but outdated.
