More Insights
Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, this property shows signs of being well-maintained with fresh paint and clean carpets. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, speckled granite countertops, and a mix of older and newer appliances (e.g., older built-in oven, newer stainless steel fridge), along with black tile flooring, suggesting a renovation from 15-30 years ago. The main bathroom has a more recently updated shower with modern tile, but the bathtub, its fixtures, and the floor tiles appear older. The overall aesthetic, including the wet bar and general finishes, indicates that while functional, the property requires minor updates to meet current styles and preferences, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
