More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1968, the property has received some significant updates like a brand new roof, new water heater, and dual-pane windows, which are positive. The hardwood flooring is also a good feature. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are very dated, featuring original-style wood cabinets, tile countertops, older appliances, and dated fixtures and flooring. These areas would require substantial renovation to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. The absence of central air conditioning is also a notable drawback. While the home is well-maintained and functional, the outdated key areas prevent it from being rated 'Good' and necessitate more than 'minor updates' for a modern buyer.
