More Insights

Built in 1955 (71 years old).
Condition: The property is described as 'newly renovated' with a modern kitchen featuring quartz countertops and year-old appliances, and gorgeous tile flooring throughout, indicating a move-in ready interior. While the home was built in 1955, the extensive recent renovation elevates its condition significantly. However, the lack of explicit mention of a cooling system and the acknowledged 'Age of Core Structure' weakness, suggesting potential for older underlying infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, roof), prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating. The exterior and backyard, while functional, do not appear to have received the same level of recent aesthetic upgrade as the interior.
