More Insights
Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old and requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features original, worn wood cabinets and highly dated tile countertops, necessitating a complete renovation. Both bathrooms also exhibit original, outdated fixtures, vanities, and tile work, requiring significant updates. Flooring in bedrooms has been removed or is old carpet, and the tile in living areas is dated and worn. While the property has central HVAC and appears structurally sound, the extensive cosmetic and functional obsolescence in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms goes beyond 'minor updates' and indicates a need for substantial investment to bring it to modern standards.
