More Insights
Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this property is 40 years old and shows clear signs of its age with no apparent major renovations since construction. The kitchen features dated oak cabinets, yellow and white tiled countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent lighting, all requiring a full cosmetic overhaul. Bathrooms also exhibit outdated vanities, lighting, and tile work. While the tile flooring in main areas appears functional, the bedroom carpet looks worn. The property is maintained but explicitly noted as needing 'TLC,' indicating that significant cosmetic updates are necessary to bring it to modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
