More Insights

Built in 1979 (47 years old).
Condition: Built in 1979, this property is over 40 years old. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, and recessed lighting, the cabinets and countertops appear to be older or basic, suggesting a partial cosmetic refresh rather than a full renovation. The bathroom is notably dated with original or very old fixtures and finishes. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout the unit, and the wall-mounted AC unit indicates an older cooling system. The property is clean and functional, making it move-in ready, but it requires substantial cosmetic updates to modernize the bathroom, ceilings, and potentially the kitchen cabinets/countertops to meet current standards.
