More Insights

Built in 1947 (79 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1947, this property has undergone significant recent updates, including a newer Presidential comp roof installed in 2019 (5 years ago), freshly painted interior, and refreshed landscaping. The kitchen features granite counters and modern appliances (gas stove, microwave, dishwasher), indicating it's well-maintained and functional. The description highlights a 'turnkey condition' and 'move-in ready' status. While the absence of central air conditioning is a notable weakness, the overall condition, recent major system updates, and updated kitchen components place it firmly in the 'Good' category, requiring no immediate renovation.
