More Insights
Built in 1956 (69 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1956, has undergone significant recent cosmetic renovations, as evidenced by the 'brand-new designer upgrades' mentioned in the description and visible in the images. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances (though the range appears older). Bathrooms are updated with modern floating vanities and clean tiling. Flooring throughout is a mix of well-maintained tile and newer laminate. While the aesthetic is fresh and move-in ready, the property's age (1956) and the noted absence of central AC suggest that not all major systems may be new or extensively updated, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the extensive cosmetic updates place it firmly in the 'Good' category.
