More Insights
Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1974, is 50 years old. While it features recently installed hardwood floors and fresh paint in the main living areas, giving it a 'move-in ready' feel, the kitchen and bathrooms show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen has older white appliances, terracotta-style floor tiles, and light wood cabinets with basic countertops, suggesting a renovation from 15-25 years ago or well-maintained original components. The bathrooms also feature dated tile work, vanities, and fixtures. Major systems may be functional but are likely nearing the end of their expected lifespan given the property's age and lack of explicit recent major system renovations. It is well-maintained but requires minor updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards in key areas.
