More Insights

Built in 1976 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1976 and owned by the same family for over 40 years, this home exhibits well-maintained structural integrity but retains significant vintage charm and dated interior finishes. The kitchen features original-era dark wood cabinets, older appliances (except for a newer refrigerator), and terracotta-style tile flooring. Bathrooms are notably outdated with specific tile choices (e.g., blue mosaic shower, brown mosaic countertops) and fixtures from an older period. While some areas have hardwood floors and impressive vaulted wood beam ceilings, other flooring includes older carpeting and dated vinyl tile. The property is functional and has been cared for, but requires substantial cosmetic updates and modernization, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, to align with current design standards.
