More Insights
Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977 and offered for the first time since construction, this property is largely original and shows significant signs of age. The kitchen features severely outdated wood cabinets, speckled countertops, and vintage appliances (double oven, white refrigerator/dishwasher). Bathrooms also exhibit dated vanities, fixtures (gold-colored), and tile work. While the hardwood floors appear to be in decent condition, other areas have worn, dated carpet. The overall aesthetic, including light fixtures and trim, is from the 70s/80s. The home appears functional and maintained, but requires substantial cosmetic updates and likely system upgrades to meet current quality standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
