More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1976, this townhouse is aged and clearly requires significant cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features dated wood cabinets, older white appliances, and laminate countertops. Both bathrooms have very dated vanities, lighting, and linoleum flooring. Popcorn ceilings are visible throughout, and carpets in bedrooms appear worn. While functional, the property needs substantial renovation to meet current quality and style standards, aligning with the 'fair' category's description of being aged, maintained through regular upkeep, but with major components showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor updates or repairs.
