More Insights
Built in 1963 (63 years old).
Condition: Built in 1963, this home shows its age in many interior areas. The kitchen is significantly dated with original-style wood cabinets, tile countertops, and tile flooring, requiring a full renovation. While one bathroom appears updated, others feature older fixtures and tile. Flooring is a mix of dated carpet, dated tile, and good condition hardwood. Positive updates like solar panels, A/C, and a newer Trex deck indicate maintenance, but the overall aesthetic requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.

Age of Property: Built in 1963, the home is over 60 years old. While some features are updated, potential buyers may have concerns about the age of underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) if not explicitly renovated.
Potential for Dated Interior Aesthetics: The description highlights a 'bright, open main level' but does not detail comprehensive interior renovations. This could imply that some interior finishes or fixtures might be dated, potentially requiring further investment to meet contemporary design preferences.
Limited Specifics on Major System Updates: While A/C and solar panels are mentioned, the listing lacks explicit information regarding recent updates to critical systems such as the roof, plumbing, or electrical. This absence of detail might raise questions for potential buyers regarding long-term maintenance and capital expenditures.
