More Insights

Built in 1974 (52 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, this property is 50 years old. While the listing describes it as 'beautifully maintained' and 'move-in ready,' the images reveal a significantly outdated kitchen with original-style coil-top electric range, mirrored backsplash, and older cabinets/countertops. The bathrooms also feature dated tile countertops, older fixtures, and strip lighting. Many rooms have popcorn ceilings and a mix of older tile and carpet, though one bedroom shows newer LVP flooring. The property is functional and appears well-kept, but the major components like the kitchen and bathrooms show clear signs of being outdated and would require substantial cosmetic renovations to meet modern standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, where the home is aged but maintained, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, requiring more than minor updates.
