More Insights

Built in 1971 (55 years old).
Condition: Built in 1971, the property shows signs of regular upkeep but features an outdated kitchen with older cabinets, laminate-style countertops, and a mix of newer and older appliances. Bathrooms have updated vanities and fixtures but dated tile work (e.g., fish border in one bathroom). Flooring is a mix of older ceramic tile and carpet. While functional and move-in ready, the overall style and some components suggest renovations occurred 15-30 years ago, requiring minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
