More Insights
Built in 1980 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1980, this property is 44 years old and shows significant signs of its age, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated tiled countertops and backsplash, older built-in appliances (excluding the refrigerator), and outdated fluorescent box lighting. The visible bathroom vanity also appears to be from the original build era. Flooring consists of dated tile and older carpets. While the property appears well-maintained and functional, it has not undergone major renovations in recent decades, and its interior style is largely consistent with the 1980s. It requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards, but does not exhibit significant defects affecting safety or structural integrity, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
