More Insights
Built in 1946 (79 years old).
Condition: This 1946-built home has undergone significant updates, particularly in the kitchen and main living areas, which feature modern appliances, white cabinetry, hardwood floors, and contemporary light fixtures. The property is move-in ready and well-maintained. However, some bathrooms, notably the pink-tiled one, retain a distinctly dated style, which, while clean and functional, would likely prompt cosmetic renovation for many buyers. The overall condition, with its updated core living spaces, places it firmly in the 'good' category, despite the dated bathroom aesthetics.
