More Insights

Built in 1967 (59 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1967, is well-maintained with recent functional updates like a new water heater, garbage disposal, and plumbing. It features chic laminate flooring and central A/C. However, the kitchen, as seen in the images, is significantly dated with tile countertops, older white appliances (including an electric coil stove), and basic white cabinetry. While functional, it shows clear signs of being outdated and would require substantial aesthetic renovation to meet current buyer expectations. The bathroom condition is not explicitly shown but is likely similar given the kitchen's state and the property's age. The overall condition is livable and maintained, but key areas like the kitchen are not updated, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained with major components showing signs of being outdated.
